While participating in the Southern California Ozone Study 97, I used my
westfalia as a mobile weather van.  Inside I had 2 tanks of helium, a Mobile
Rawinsonde System, 2 laptops, a generator and enough weather balloons and
sondes for a few weeks.
    I was a weather tech in the navy and they wanted me to camp out on the
beach for a few weeks in their POS Ford pick-up.  Forget that, I spent a few
weeks getting paid to camp in beautiful Coronado, CA, while putting a
balloon up every 6 hours.
    Was one of the best assignments that I had ever had.
