OK. I've got the trip worked out. It's all good. Great group. We really
need more people though, it's a ton of miles and fuel is, well, it's a
lot. I've mapped it out. I'm gonna try to get everyone to leave on the
13th. If we can leave on the 13th, that makes things better. If we have
to leave on the 14th, it's not the end of the world... but it would be
great to leave on the 13th. Here is the plan:

Thursday the 13th
Load up and leave as early in the evening (7:00 or so) on Thursday the
13th. Get to Reno late at night. Get hookers, gamble, get drunk.
Buffet. Get beat up by rednecks. vomit everywhere. Run away like
cowards.

Friday the 14th
Sun rises and we are still driving. We pass Wells, Nevada and continue
on to Winemukka. We vist Winners casino where I once actually won money
once and we will vist Jungo road, the gateway to the Pacific northwest.
We will make a left, and head north on a very small road. We will drive
on this road into the night. Many farms and rolling hills. Stopping to
eat the local faire at suppertime, we will find ourselves in Marsing
Idaho by morning.

Saturday the 15th
Morning in Marsing, Idaho. We meet Noyam Hale, a real estate agent and
the mother of the famous Justinian the Armenain Rubberman of circus
fame. We have breakfast and are dazzled by her charms and her old ways.
We look around Marsing and maybe buy some property. I'm not kidding.
Then we meet up with Justinian at a vintage car auction just outside of
Bosise. It's like 2:00 now. We have the rest of the day to meander
around Boise, then eat and maybe go to a club or some such... we just
have to get back in the bus and drive before like 2 or 3 AM... we drive
and cry the rest of the night and the next morning.

Sunday the 16th
We eat breakfast in a ghost town in Idaho the Justinian is going to
direct us to. We drive to Polson, Montana to the Miricle of America
museum. Spend a few hours there. It's the best museum I have ever been
to. It has ACRES of stuff, and you can play with it and touch it and
get in it and ride it and it's totally cool and run by a totally cool
guy. Acres and acres of stuff. Forever. It's amazing. We eat dinner and
maybe go on a boat ride (Polson is on a lake) then we, you guessed it,
drive and cry. We'll be tired, though...

Monday the 17th
We eat lunch in Bozeman, Montana. It's a great college town with all
the features and privileges. We hang out a little and then get back on
the road. We drive a long time. Its' amazing scenery. It's Yellowstone
country, and it's lush and hilly and smells like health. We pass the
missouri river and stop to camp out.

Tuesday the 18
We whitewater raft. Then we sleep in a hotel.

Wedensday the 19th
We wake before dawn and drive through the Dakotas and find ourselves in
Minneapolis to see the amazing Jeune Lune theatre. We get drunk and
fall down and drive and cry.

Thursday the 20th
In the morning we go to the House on the Rock. In the afternoon we go
to Dr. Evermoore's. I can't explain either of these things. Suffice to
say, they *could* change your life. Changed mine. We go to Madison and
hang out in the night. Whatever. Camp. Hotel. Sleep at Doc's trailer...

Friday the 21st
You guys go rouge. Fly home from Chicago airport or Madison (Madison is cheaper) . A friend will drive
out from Chicago on Thursday night and hang out with us. He will stay
where you guys stay. In the morning, he is your ride to the
Chicago/Ohare airfield. By the time you get home, me and the bus will
already be in NYC. I'll have left for NYC after I dropped you guys off
in Madison.

That is the trip. I am going to continue on to NYC and anyone is
welcome to come with me. I'm gonna pick up a bunch of people in NY and
turn the bus around and go to Minnieaples and build one of these:
www.floatingneutrinos.com yea.

The money thing depends on how many people go. Likely to kick in $150
at least. I'm thinking that there are only gonna be like 13 people or
so... I wish we could get more... but it's a lot of time and the plane
ticket and stuff... it's gonna be expensive. But we gotta do it. So
please rope your friends into comming. The more people come, the
cheaper it will be. And the more fun. Please forward all over the
place.

Stay in touch if your thinking of coming... things change a bit... the
route... we're still up in the air on the leave date being the 13th or
14th... stay with me.

    "We drive to Polson, Montana to the Miricle of America
    museum. "

    Oh....my....god. This is strange. That museum is owned by my ex-boyfriend, Andy Mangel's parents, the ones who kicked him out and wouldn't speak to him for 10 years. That's creepy. Creepier still is that a large part of their Kennedy assassination newspapers came from my personal collection.

    Well, best of luck on the trip. I can't afford to take the time away, otherwise it seems like a fun trip.
