I rolled with the pack on the floating bridge, there was one more about 2 cars behind me. I must have seen 20 more on the way home without even looking for them.

Those little black specs on the side of the road are cattle. This was in Castle Valley just a bit east of Moab, UT. Over the course of a roughly 45 minute drive this road goes straight from the heart of the redrock desert to some high Alpine lakes in the Lasalle mountains. It's a pretty sweet spot.

Nice. Its kinda strange how the gen 2 vans have much bigger headlights than the gen 1...


I think the early Gen 2's had the same setup. My 1995's lights are the same size I think (I'll compare the next time I find a Gen 1 to park next to).

Ok yeah, from that pic of your van they do look about the same size as a gen 1.
