Subject:Bend, OR -- my goodness, lots of Vanagons!

Mrs Squirrel and I just got back from Bend, Oregon. We think we're gonna
move there. We spent quite a time canvassing the Westside district,
looking for a house (found a few that seem to suit us). We must have
seen 50 Vanagon Westies, 20 Vanagons, an even dozen baywindows, and
quite a few baywindow Westies -- all in that one district! Maybe a
couple splitties, and more than a handful of aircooled bugs. (Almost
wrote "aircooled butts," which is a whole different story.)

Mellow Yellow will feel right at home there! The large population of
running Vanagons suggests that there might be a good mechanic or two up
there that knows these idiosyncratic vehicles.
