I had planned to take my VW Syncro Vanagon to a specialist just after Christmas so that the high-top could be refurbished and resealed. There was a major engine issue the night before our planned departure, some serious ($$) work, and a two week delay.

Once on the road, it was smooth sailing between Seattle and Kennewick, WA, but a planned weekend away was interrupted by an emergency at home and the mini-vacation became an out and back, 11:22 hour long haul, iron bottom, road trip.

The van will be in surgery for a bit, but will be ready for spring camping, road trips, and adventures soon!
