Hi,

If you want to overnight (or more) in Calgary, you are welcome to
park/shower/eat/etc @ my place.  I've got a parking pad within my fence
so it's secure & private.

There is a great VW shop in Calgary called "Tony's".  They seem to be
"the place" to go in Calgary with Vanagons.  I was there last week to
pick up oil and there was a fantastic Syncro Westy in their parking lot
all decked out with "everything Go-Westy". <drool>.

I wouldn't worry about your headlights AT ALL.

If you like to hike, I can point out lots of places between Calgary &
Jasper.

Cheers,
Steve W.

We are taking 5 up and return on 93 to Calgary if we do not hit a lot of bad weather.  Can you recommend any Good repair shops along the way. We are going to take it easy and not flog the van hopefully we will not have any problem. It is running sweetly now. Thanks in advance.Bill Witz 84 Westy TiicoP.S.The last time were in Canada was before 9-11.
