Calan Taylor, Bandon 1999 Volkswagon Vanagon

“The van I donated is called the Hushpuppy… named after the girl from Beasts of the Southern Wild. In its early life it was used as a road trip mobile… It’s been to the south end of Baha twice, used for going into the woods [for] mushroom picking, and lots of family camping trips. Over the last four years it’s primarily been used as a surf-rig. My favorite memory is [from] Baha. We came into San Juanico, [or] Scorpion Bay, on this road… that’s used for the Baha 1000. We had been travelling down it for about 30 miles, and for the last 20 miles had to keep the van going above 30 miles per hour, otherwise [we’d] sink into the sand. We were essentially flying over 4-wheel drive terrain in a front-wheel drive van and somehow made it. We always knew we would donate it to JPR at the end of its career. It’s a good way to send it off into its next life.”
