nomadic tribe

Hello, I just recieved a letter from Richard (an old bus member) and he said that You guys still have all of his belongings on the bus, and he really needs them. I have a contact for him in alabama, so if you guys are going to head back down there hopefully you could get in touch with him. Ill see y'all soon
Lots of love

meeting up with a girl from a previous bus hitching a ride home...

we dont have richards things anymore.
they were tossed out a long time ago, I never expected to see him again the way the police were telling me he wasnt goig to be out for years.

I still have his hat he sold me though.

Ill get his email off of you when I get home...few days maybe monday, but please brandi I still need some space for a while before I can sit down wiith you, I have a lot to do when I get home and I really cant handle any extra stress talk to me after new years.....

ok so quick update, Im in ontario. though the highway child and its crew are awaiting a waterpump in winnipeg, it blew a few hours after my last letter, tyfus and the others sent me ahead to ontario so I could be with my family for xmas....man I love my tribe!!!

I spoke to tyfus today and all is going well for them and should be arriving in toronto in a few days, as well as two girls we met in calgary are flying out to meet us just before new years.

My thoughts vibes and prayers go out to the highway children brining the highway child threw the northern pass...

tyfus if you read this.....
Thanks man!!!!!!

 

well folks, I got a call from tyfus last night, the highway child ( the bus not the group ) is dead..

the engine blew in marathon ontario...the folks on the bus are enroute to hamilton,

sooooo one thing to do!!
build a new BETTER BUS!!!!
hehehehe I love building buses!!!
so the plan is were all getting a house and working for the next few months, with 6 folk working bring in an average of 1500 each ( some more some less) thats 9 grand a month times two well 18 000 will suffice4 to build one hell of a bus...or even buses...hehehe my mind is going crazy with possibilities,
I will be in contact with our sister bus the ship of fools, for some help in the construction..
Im thinking a coach ....
oh Im thinking many things.
it suc ks the bus died, but what reaqlly encourages me is the folk whjo have dedicated themselves to the highway child community havnt givenm up at all, actually they have just bonded even more so
.....
if any more folk wish to help out in the construction and or finance building there will be room for them in our communty house...
well I may be speaking too soon, I have found a killer house its huge for a decent price...Its still not 100% we will get it, though It shgould work out...
Ill keep posting
peace

 

I ll help with what ever i can just help me get out of ohio Please.
Peace and Love JimJam

 

I guess i just have always thought of my vehicles as like family i know they are sure treated that way by me. I just think it is sadf to take a bus that has treated ya so well and you have put so much into would not be worth saving.
i have to of my old Rv's in storage myself one needs an engine. Why not look at storage for it for now and with the kind of money you are talking you could get the engine for that in no time get it fixed and even if you decided to make another bus that bus could be sold for alot more then the engine cost.
Vehicles to me get a spirit almost like a friend to me they are my friends and for me the thought of leaving one behind would sadden me alot. Oh well just my thoughts.

just wondering if you like Taos why not just head out on foot you would be there in a few days. You will be wait along time normally waiting for others to coem and get ya. Just a thought.

 

yes yes it has been a hard friggin trip damnit i have hitched from st marie in this cold crap to to. so now it is time to work and build a new bus oh well time to mix drinks get people drunk and get paid for it laterz tyefus

 

whatup time for me to do what i do best sling drinks and get paid for it damn it is cold very cold hitching through canada =cold but hey this yank aint no twinkie so blink come and get me i am in TO later all we will have a bigger better more pimpin highwaychild up and going soon

 

heheh tyefus is now sitting right beside me in hamilton, work had been sort of found for the bunch of us....

yeah road gypsy it sucked leaving it behind, though marathon ontario is pretty barren this time of year and even getting to the closest reall city takes about 8 hrs drive....it was a matter of need that we left it behind..

still everythings kickin alright here....
will keep posting on the progress
peace

 

Yeah roadgypsey Taos was awesome not really the town itsself it was more of a tourist artsy town but out on the messa was heaven, green building, self substainabilty, old volcanoes, hot springs, mounains, earth ship community, and a whole bunch of energy there its really weird u can feel the static energy in the animals hen you pet them. AND I LOVED IT.
Peace and love Jimjam-TWIG

 

ahaha I told you jim jam toas is utopia
did you meet alister at the "community center" did you tell him I spoke of him???
man I loved taos....
peace

 

This sounds like something I'd love to do for however long I ended up doing it...but alas I think I missed my shot as Sept 6 was a long time ago and I'm out in East PA

Ah well, planning my own little gypsy road-hitting soon anyway.

 

Its warm as hell here right now. Its stayed in the mid to high 60's for the last week and a half now. glad Im not in Canada. Anyways check out free cycle on the net for a potential bus. Jason found one on there (in case the name didnt give it away, everything is 100% free). Leaving Knoxville with or without a new bus in May headed west. From what I understand the highway child was planning to pass back through Tennessee, anyone who still makes it down here before then has a place to stay. Anyways, glad everyone found work, good luck. peace

 

Hello Brothers and sisters of the purple bus... i am interested.. just graduated... and now i am ready to hit the road coming april 28.. i will be in alberta canada for a while though- but come around may... i would love to jump on your bus- i will be in IL, or IN then... come scoop me up heh' i can hemp, peyote, sew...and i loove crystals- and makin jewls out of ... Peace and Love

 

I see that you have had a bunch of buses. I would like to know why you did not fix the one that you had. I just seems like a waste of time and resources to keep geting buses when one dies.

Peace,
