Speaking of vans in Virginia, back in the air-cooled van days, we were cruising the back roads of Virginia and came upon a junkyard in the middle of nowhere called M and M Salvage.  We stopped and went through the yard, found a few parts, and left. Years later, we moved to Frederick, MD and graduated to an '83 Westy. We took the trip to M and M a few more times during those years and found a few Vanagons, mostly air-cooled at the time, in the yard.  It has been at least 21 years since I have been back to M and M.  It may be thriving or dead.  Would be fun to find out.  It was located between Ruckersville and Standardsville, VA.  Not much to see in the area but it was fun once we arrived! At the time, the yard was mostly foreign cars so there was still plenty to see if you have other afflictions beside Vanagons.
