dear  vanogonites
well tonight at about 7:30 PM just about 40 minutes west of  Rawlins
Whyoming ... we hit a patch of ice and sailed .. or tumbled over  the
road edge ...
at least three complete turns later when we came to  rest on the
drivers door ...

im sorry to hear about your loss roger..i know how much you anticipated
this trip, from your postings, and that you had your van in top shape for the
journey....  that's a major bummer..   and im sorry about your  cat too..
at least you and your lady are ok...
