Hey Colin.. would you mind if we posted goals for your visits somewhere... realizing that you have final say on what can and NEEDS to be done. But that might provide a way for us to stay organized, motivated, and inspirational to others who've never had the "Colin" experience. Plus I'm curious to see what other folks have planned for their visits and what kinds of possibilities are out there.

I will ask for people to recount their day as well. The last two years I was diffident about post-visit write-ups with all that cynicism that directed at you Kool-Aid drinking groupies, but with change in the air (like no more GWB and actual intelligent debates on the part of Clinton and Obama), I'd like to develop some fresh references.

Would like to get you for at least 1/2 day this time. I have to go to Chicago for my girl's HS graduation just before Deschutes so we'll see what happens after things jell with your schedule.

Do your travels take you through Western PA? Round abouts Pittsburgh? I may actually have a 'running' bus come July or August. That would fulfill the "valve adjust, vehicle runs/stops, take a 'road/driving' test" portion of the visit. Otherwise, are you working on your 2009 Itinerary yet?

I will be in western Pennsylvania on my way to the northeast. Talk to your bus and see what you all want to do. "Running" to Running Road Warrior sounds goooood.Runamuck Bus wrote:Do your travels take you through Western PA? Round abouts Pittsburgh? I may actually have a 'running' bus come July or August.

Yes I am. Saint Louis is where my friend-who-surprised-me-half-to-death-at-my-dad's-funeral harkens from. And I do plan on stopping by. . .RussellK wrote:Are you passing through St Louis?
