Well, last week we took a trip out to Indian Peaks with my brother Brent and His Wife Evelyn. We started out by going out the Lund Highway to the Railroad tracks then out the dirt roads. we set about following a geo trail I had mapped out and of course saw all sorts of beautiful country and even some Antelope and Wild Horses too and some neat landmarks such as an old school bus set up for a storage trailer I guess. We made it to Indian Peaks the first day and decided to camp at a nice little spot we found for the night. The next morning we continued to cache our way to Milford, we wound our way up and down and all around, through a mighty wind storm and made it back home again . this was the first time we had actually slept in the tent or even used the van for what I had tried to set it up for and I was very pleased with the performance. I really liked the All Wheel Drive and limited slip differential it made for a smooth trouble free ride without stopping to lock hubs and such, it just kicked in and done it's job then back out again when not needed smooth as silk! We did have a couple of minor issues which are being taken care of now, a slight overheating tendency and squealing front brakes. Brents Vanagon of course performed flawlessly and seemed to be able to go anywhere whereas my astro seemed to be limited by the operator! I am looking forward to our next excursion, hopefully with Brent and Evelyn again, they were a lot of fun to travel with and the were good sports about stopping every few miles for another cache.
