Prequel


Prequel

This is The Gronckle:


So named because of her resemblance to:


- both in form and in character. ‘… relentless, stubborn, and direct like a compact rhino, yet very loyal to its rider.’

You must know that How to Train Your Dragon is a great favorite with us.

Dad’n found her on Craig’s List, some 60 miles north of us; sellers unaware of what a Westy is, but very happy to let her go to a grandma to go camping with her grandsons – a traditional role for her, apparently. She is a 1983-1/2 VW Westfalia camper. Very first of the water-cooled VWs.  Seems to be in excellent mechanical condition; has some appearance issues, but she is, after all, a 30-year old Volkswagen.

Mima bought her, and the adventures begin.
