One of the brilliant aspects of the diversity of this community is
that there is
never just one correct approach.

I agree totally.
Sitting around a camp fire at the BLM campground before Buses by the
Bridge, and later
at Buses by the Bridge, I was struck by how different many of us and
at the same time I was even
more struck by the level of acceptance and nonjudgmental aspect of
the group. A real mix of folks who
come from different backgrounds and different parts of North America.
There was a spirit there that was
was far more  important than what you chose to travel with laptop,
cell phone, DVD, TV.
That spirit  was about traveling and about being in the moment.
It seems to be that once you start judging how others should travel
you take yourself out of
that connection.
For the most part most of chose to focus on what we have in common
and what we share not
  the small differences that don't really matter a whole bunch.
