Alas young vanagoneer... I too was once a broke MicroBus dude.... but by
doing just as you are doing (using my noodle, looking for good deals & not
afraid of doing my own work) .... In the long run.... It has been one
amazing run across some of the finest landscape on this planet.....  I was
very lucky to be driving at the birth of the Interstate system.... and it
just seems that it has never stopped growing ever since. Now I look for
smaller back roads... and we have lots of those in Canada... heck I live on
one ...

Thanks for saying something.... always question........& most of all don't
take it to serious...
enjoy yourself.
