We need another vehicle or two, so far I have a list of about 30 people on the tour, or part of the tour.
The bus carries around 10-14 people unless riders are on top(in town only). I see that it will come down to ME to decide....or all 30 will try to squeeze in!
-- ZaneCapting---- Who,what,when,where,and how is the question. Not he least of these is "how". -----Phil advises bus rides are going like hotcakes. Will we/I be going to the Bay Area?---- I've got the time and the inclination,what I need is inspiration--- and a Bus Ride. ----- I'm busy making firewood too,with a brand new Stihl. Please advise.
-- James L. Whetstine
My advice is to talk to Zane about going on the bus becuz that is out of my jurisdiction, being an echo chainsaw guy myelf. Even if you don't fit on the bus there will be auxiliary vehicles going along which will take care of the overflow of which I think there will be a bunch. In the continuing search for the perfect word I am attempting to mine the meaning of inveterate and the dictionary is only a handsbreadth away but laziness is my middle moniker. stay attuned. first gig at tsunami's . . . approaching warp speed.

As the tour approaches, and grows daily larger it seems, with ever more invitees and invitees' invitees, pleas for more vehicles to carry the multitudes, and drivers for the caravanning crowd, now estimated at 30 or more, one question comes to mind: has anybody talked to Wally & Rosanna about the hordes that are apparently about to descend upon their assumed hospitality? I have yet to talk to anybody who has said they have extended their invitation to the growing crowd. Just wondering . . . --geo
I think the plan is not to say anything to wally and roseanna but descend upon their place like the ravagin locust horde we will have become by that time after twenty or thirty hours packed in the bus like slaves on ships from africa; farting and sweating and hacking and begging for surcease as the sound system has been stuck on "They're coming to take me away" for the past 16 hours; full blast.
driver seems to be unperturbed.
-- capn skypYup. I've been talking to Roseanna. We are definitely welcome, even at extended numbers. They've got a guest house they've been fixing up, and its floors can accomodate many. It has kitchen facilities, ample cookware (one among us -- Pat Mackay aka Chef Juke -- has already stepped forward and volunteered to arrange and prepare meals). Remember to bring sleeping bag and towel
-- DavidAdd pillow & inflatable (or SMALL foldable) pad. Also: WARM clothes for travel in cold drafty bus with minimal heater. We have already had snow, and temperatures in the teens; misery may love company, but this company does not love misery! Pack small, space is very limited.
--geothis company embraces misery. has a working relationship with misery.
will endure misery long after misery has gven up and fled like a shitstorm blown out
-- capn skypSorry! It won't happy again! Arrgh, man the ballasts pump the bilges
swill the grog
-- DavidArrgh, never apologize it's a sign of weakness so saith John Wayne
but he never did understand the mystery that is woman

There are enough cards to hand out to each and everyone man, woman, child, dog, cat, raccoon, wambat, football team, soccer team, police officer, fireman, health department official, gas station attendant, or anyone else the denizens on the bus can give them to...
-- Reallyyas, cards to all
kudos to Really
flood the dikes

leaving cards behind
and greetings upfront-- capn skyp
