R.I.P. Big Blue

On July 29th our beloved Terra Cyclery vehicle, a 1994 Chevy Astro Van was traded in exchange for a new vehicle for the wife.
It was new to us as of January 2002, the perfect one owner vehicle with all documentation.
It served us well these past seven plus years, but alas the miles and years took their toll and along came the "cash for clunker" program which gave us much more then what was its retail value.
It saddens us deeply that it will now be crushed, unceremoniously.
We are hardened by the fact that eventually its metals will be recycled- who knows it might return to these shores in the form of a new bike?
Take care Big Blue. We will always have our memories.
