I earlier requested information about Portland OR and basically lacked
the time at that time to respond to return inquiries.

 I have a few questions that are related to the vanagon.  With my recent
notification of transfer from east central Illinois to Portland Oregon it
brings urgency to me asking again about the Portland area.  I have
already heard that it rains all the time.  My main question is what is
the area like in people, places, etc.? What is good, what is bad, etc?
Is it worth bringing my '83 watercooled out?

Second; I am very nervous about driving my vanagon out there.  I have no
real reason except for things I read on this posting.  My van is driven
daily, but it is in town driving and I really have not taken out on the
interstate.  A question to the experienced that have driven the direction
I am going what should I expect from a vanagon perspective?

Thanks,

Alan
