Well we returned unscathed from our trip to the Pac Nor West.....in our
Red 69 Dormobile....Went to the Rose City Bug In @ Portland Int.
Raceway. nice show, a bit on the small size (compared to Calif)....Temps
in the 100's.....nobody in Portland has air cond......Then it happed, in
Longview Washington, I sheard off the splines on my Right Rear Brake
drum......sheeesh, and you just know what tool I didnt bring....yup, so
we took it to The Auto Shop in Longview, Bob Droz located us a used
drum....adjusted valves and tried to get an idle miss out of my Duel
Dellortos....charged us less than $100 for everything and had us on our
way in less than 2 hours, even bumped us  up in front of his
customers.....Good Guy.....If your in Longview, give him a try....

Headed down the Oregon Coast, saw over 150 Westys, mostly Vanagons, bout
15 Bay windows and 2 Splits ( at a Rasta Festival in Garberville
Ca.).....Great camp grounds in Canon Beach Ore. there were 7 Vanagon
Westys, 1 EV and 2 Bays (including mine) just at this
campground.....Amasingly, not one of these people have ever heard of the
list....

There was a guy next to us that had about a 90 Vanagon Westy (Canadian
Spec) from BC....he had left his bus and had gone somewhere and I never
did find him....he had the cooolist RACK on the back......it was
huge.......made out of 2'' Galvanized pipe and had a 3 bike platform
(looked like coragated Steel Roofing) that folded up like a Paulchin but
this baby looked big enough to hold my Vespa....There was no name on it
, I toook some pictures of it, if anyone is interested, Ill e mail them
to ya....
Ciao Bob Calkins, Placerville Ca...
80 Westy/69 Dormobile
