Well, as it breaks my heart more than I ever thought it could, our Westy is on its way to Canada to spurn dreams for someone other than us. I have enjoyed lurking on this list over the last couple of years as my wife and I dreamed of taking off into the wild blue yonder without a care. Unfortunately practicality and commitments to things other than ourselves led to a wonderful vehicle being used for nothing other than a daily driver. I hope the best of luck to all in their journeys. Maybe one day we will take the road less traveled again and I may be back to lurk some more.

Thanks to all for sharing so much through this list.
And a special thanks to Unca Joel Walker for helping me through the delivery ;-)
