The Blue Beast |
Two years ago I fell in love with a car, a van to be specific, a blue 1987 Volkswagen Westfalia. Well, not quite a Westfalia, it’s a Weekender, it has a pop-top, but no kitchen, any VW connoisseur would recognize the difference. This van has been through some pretty awesome adventures.

The van at home. |
It’s been stuck, it’s broke down, it’s been fixed, it’s driven eighteen hours straight, its gone off road where no van belongs, it’s been in the snow, ice, the rain, high winds, oh the high winds its seen. Over the last twenty five thousand miles of my life, from California to Wyoming and everywhere between, it has gotten me around and been my home.
