<VV> Back home from the South West

[Guus de Haan]

We just got back yesterday from our trip to the US. Our trip took us  
through Nevada, California and Arizona. Almost 4000 miles with rented  
car and RV. Fuel prices may not be so high as in Europe but the fuel- 
consumption of that RV is incredible. We had days it took over $100  
to fill it up again, and it wasn't even empty! But it was a beautiful  
trip and we've enjoyed it very much. From the cities on the coast of  
California to the Grand Canyon in Arizona and of course Las Vegas.

We met Bob Helt and his wife Dolores and I had a change to go to a  
meeting of the Vegas Vairs. Nice folks and a very relaxed and  
humorous meeting. The meeting was run by president Vic Howard and I  
spoke to several others but I hope you forgive me that I cant'  
remember al your names! We kind of underestimated the time it would  
take to see Vegas and we would like to visit it again some day. Maybe  
then there is a chance to meet again. Otherwise there's always e-mail  
of course. Thanks for the club magazine and the sticker. I'll add  
them to my small Corvair archive.

I was surprised to see so little Corvairs on the road. Saw a EM  
travelling south on highway 101 on a trailer the 5th. Near San Luis  
Obispo I think. An EM in a driveway in Pismo Beach. The last one was  
in a Historic Route 66 parade in Williams, Az . Talked to the owner  
but he's not a member of any Corvair club and I don't think he's on  
VV either. Sound familiar to anyone?
