List members:

Back at home base after my trip from PA to UT. Thanks again to all that
offered help if needed. The 86 Westy did fine. Mileage averaged 21.7 and
only sputtered some in the mountains of NM, injector cleaner solved that.
Lost the headlite switch and drove daylite only. Backed into a tree (old
eyes and stiff neck) in Kaibob National Forest, couldn't check oil &
water till I pulled the bumper off and beat it back. Also found I sleep
much better in the lower, being 6'2", and the younger wife making it to
the top.

"Part needed... lost the cover to the fresh water filler somewhere on the
trip. Need the spring also. Anybody out there have one?? I guess anyone
of the door flaps will fit."

Thanks also to our list managers for the great job they do, we wish them
well.
