Great trip report!
I keep vacillating on vehicle choice for the Journey To The End End Of The
Earth. I can take the vanagon and worry about all-good-things-bus-related or I
can take the Ford Ranger and have no fun or I can take the company Town &
Country (they pay for gas! but I can't tow anything, such as a motorcycle). So
it's take chances breaking company policy because I'm towing a motorcycle,
drive a dependable pick 'em truck with nowhere to sleep or drive Freedom. Gas
ain't that bad yet. . .at least not bad enough to lose a job over. I estimate
fuel costs for roughly 6,000mi. to be about $1,330 at $4 per gallon @ 18mpg.
And we'll save on hotel costs.
No kids joining me except for a few adult children. All long time friends,
which includes Cindy. I can imagine the feeling riding in a bus going to such a
huge event with your son on board. It's great seeing the kids joining the fun
at the bus/VW events. Ed, Jeff, Trey and Chris set the scene this past weekend.
Family heritage, and all.
