Our Volkswagen Westfalias.

We originally started out with a 1969 VW transporters which we bought for a dollar.  Needed new engine and transmission.  It had a birch log for a bumper, we ended calling the van Woodstock.  Unfortunately we have no pictures.  Next van was a 1986 auto Westy, this without a doubt was the nicest van.  It was virtually in show room condition.  We sold it and were without a van for a few years.  After missing having a Westfalia we bought our next van, Peggy Sue, she is a 1979 Westfalia.  As you can see she is in good shape.  She came into our family in the fall of 98.  The first major trip we did was the summer of 99. We went to Drumheller, Cypress Hills, Writing On Stone, Waterton Lakes National Park, Kananaskis Park, Banff National Park then home to Edmonton.  One weekend we drove from Edmonton to Jasper and stayed for the night.  Then we drove down Parkway 93 through Nordegg to Hwy 2 the home to Edmonton.  She has been to Nordegg and Sylvan Lake many times.  We have completed two trips to Long Beach on Vancouver Island.  She liked to cruise.  The next and current Westfalia van we have is a 1990. We bought the van from a couple in Victoria in August 2006.   That fall my wife and I  spent one week in and around Jasper.  We went for a day trip to Mount Robson (Kinney Lake).  We are looking forward to completing a few trips in 2007 with her.
