Winter must be getting to some of the northern Vanagon folks because there seem to be a lot more
of them passing through my location (the low desert east of San Deigo) lately.  Saw a nice pale
yellow  westie from Washington state in the center of Borrego and a burgandy one with two mt. bikes
on back has been around the location for a few days from Alaska.
 Weekends, I see some California ones, but not many...must be too 'de-class-ay" for Californians,
who seem to spend a good portion of their income on motor vehicles. Caught a glimpse of a pretty
tricked Syncro about a week ago, but again, probably not 'cool' enough for most Californians.. Those
regular small Jeeps seem to be pretty big around here...on Sundays I see what must be Jeep clubs
passing through...some times up to 30 of them all in a line...Hardly Davidsons do the same...Que up
and follow each other in a parade formation, in groups of up to 50...What a racket they make!
  My 84 is treating me very good lately...no dangling motors or anything.  People in town call it
a "hippie bus"..
