I began travelling on the highway child on and off for about 4 years now, each time its been different, sometimes challenging, but all over amazing. ive seen many new place, met many incredible people. Drew ( the captain of the bus) is an amazing person, and i cannot wait to travel with him on the up coming bus, tho sometimes he can be a pill (hard to take) in the long run, it was all worth it!!! I love the highway child, and cant wait to see you all there if you have any questions contact me at xriotxgrrlx@hotmail.com peace, love and all that good shit people!!! annie riot
Hey Drew, had a question for ya. Im taking off out of Portland in the next 5 days and Ive got a few potential buses lined up. One of them is propane. Just wondering what you thought since your other bus was propane and you had some experience with it. You know cost, inclines, availability etc. Hope everything is going well. see ya down the road. PS anyone looking to caravan let me know, Im travelling with my girlfriend and dog as a fmaily unit but if you have your own vehicle we'd enjoy some company for a run. Headed to the SW US in a week, then east then North Be in Ontario around the end of September, then to BC and Mexico to teach English for the winter then we have work and a place to stay lined up in Costa Rica. I may even have a vehicle for anyone interested. Its a conversion van, the size of a starcraft or something along those lines, sink fridge, bed, table etc. Just needs new tires. contact me if interested. Oh and we'll be selling stained glass work, functional glass, hemp, knit products, insense maybe a few other things for gas and food.
Propane is a huge hassle. I travelled with my brother a bit in his propane truck, and when we could manage to find propane, we sometimes had to wait for the 'licenced' filler to come on shift. Like here in Oregon, where you can't pump your own gas, you can't fill your own propane tank, and fuck that facism, if you ask me.
drew you are a pill, but the best kind! hard to take, and after it's all done, you're greatful that it happened. i talked to branid yesterday, she's the only one that seems to try to keep in touch....it's been ayear! i miss you all! and i would love to have some type of reunion.
hey eclips...yeah propane burns clean but it can be hard to fnd from time to time... bad mileage.... if you do go that way it is alot cheaper than diesel or gas 49 c a liter right now...cheaper in some plaves...majr centers is a good place to fill up..cottage country can duble the cost get a droptank line that fills from a bbq tank to a veichle tank...MAKE SURE YOU Dont leave without one...there illegal because you do have to be licenced to use one..but if you ever run out of fuel and its hard not to most of the time fuel gages on prpane doeant work very well..but it is next to impossible to get propane deliverd to the side of the road...you need a drop line nice to hear from you erin.. well highway child has evolved since you two wereon the bus...were going over seas in may but not before we go drive to brazil....' we have a whole new prcess od decision making involving a councel of those with so many miles on board...were travelling with three other buses and meetting with our sister bus the ship of fools in new mexico.... we are doing a documentory....proffesionally though...I even hired a producer.... we have to stop in kervill to pick up jesse and another..maybe see you there'times up \i have to go peace
well im bck i dropped another 5 into this machine..Im at a truck stop in detroit on the way bck from st louis missurie...erin I was about 6 hours north of you...closest I ever came to arkansa...it would be cool to meet up with some past members of highwaychild...n interview would be an iteresting faucet ..kinda looking back at things...I dont know just a thought but it would be cool if you could cravan for a while eclipse...havnt quite nailed down the politics with the other buses..though it would be a counsel of some sorts..still trying to figure that end out...im thinking though everyone has a say the captan of each bus sets there own rulles as long as those rulles dont nfringe on other buses...each captain meets up ever so often with the others and votes on a course of action that would effect the whole train.....I mean thats basically the concept aswe are seeing it as now... atthe end of the documentory each captain would get a share of the profits (after expenses Im paying out of my own pocket) then that would benifit each bus to bring us even further.. I mean just for the short time you two were on the bus what adventures/misadventures befell us. any way let me know... ON OTHER TOPICS, \I HAVE BEEN GETTING EMAILS FROM FPLK WANTING TO JOIN UP, WE ARE LEAVING IN MAY EITHER LEAVE ME A NUMBER OR CALL ME 905-746-2546 HMMMMMM i WONDER HOW SMART LEAVING MY DIGITS ONLINE IS???????? HEHEHEH LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS...BE GENTLE PEACE
I'm really into doing some bus travel in January until whenever. I'm in Connecticut now. Is the hihway child going to be coming this way anytime soon. I live in New Haven which is a very cool college town so you guys should come through here and when and if you decide to send me an email so I know you're coming. sara@pinkandyellow.net
