We mostly drove it from skaneateles to syracuse and a few trips to buffalo and the adirondecks. We have a duece and a half and while in the adirondecks found a really cool old boat. (the boat needs to be refinished) We would love to do a bunch more stuff with the vanagon but as you can see we have more projects then we have room for.
