EXTRA POINT

We bid a tearful goodbye to That Certain Dartmouth '14 at 5:30 this morning and set out for Dillon, Colo., where we will visit with my sister before steering our VW camper toward Vermont at O-dark-30 Monday morning.

Out of an abundance of caution we are taking a circuitous route to Dillon so that the '84 V-dub bus has to climb the least challenging mountain passes possible. We will be asking it to clear 10,000-plus feet but it did that on the way here so we are (relatively) confident we'll be at my sister's place overlooking the lake by noon or so. Trust me, we'll be living in the "climbing lane," on the major hills and pulling over to cool the engine when necessary or to let people pass us.

For the uninitiated the the '84 Vanagon, per an internet description (because I am clueless), has a "1.9-liter, water-cooled four-cylinder engine that generates 83 horsepower." I'm not sure what all that means other than it doesn't go particularly fast. But hey, we averaged better than 20 miles per gallon driving out here and that's not bad at all for a 36-year-old vehicle shaped like a brick.

We took a drive to Lake City, Colo., yesterday (in TCD'14's ever-cool Subaru Baja) and the scenery was as pretty as, well, as this picture:
