<VV> Tacoma and more?

[Sethracer at aol.com]

After the 1975 Corsa Convention in Seattle, my wife and I drove our  
Corvair-powered VW Campmobile North to Vancouver then across western Canada  - BC 
- to Lake Louise/Banff in Alberta - It was a climb, but the VW took it  in 
slow stride. After a few days at Banff, we soldiered on to Calgary. The  
speed limit there was 70 MPH - as opposed to the mandated, at the time, 55  MPH 
in the US. At 70 MPH, the Campmobile, unencumbered by any front spoiler, was 
 floating on air - and was no fun to drive. Back to 55 across Alberta. From 
 Calgary, we drove South into Yellowstone, the West, across into  Idaho 
then to Spokane, Washington, where we saw remnants of a prior  "World's Fair". 
Then we drove South through Eastern Oregon - pretty desolate -  visited The 
Dalles dam, very impressive, then up and over into extreme  Northern 
California - above the tree line - looking like the face of the moon!  Eventually 
to our home in the SF Bay area. We were glad to get home  after a long trip. 
But one with many memories. - Seth Emerson

Daniel,  it looks like you will be taking the Canadian 1 through Calgary and
on to  Banff. Banff is at the top of the world in the Rocky Mountains, and
is  beautiful country. Do the gondola ride to breathtaking views there. Its
an  international vacation retreat. I live 6 hours south of Banff in
northern  Idaho. Mark Durham Hauser  Idaho
