Here on the right coast we may have more chances to meet , but then Jo and
I travel quite a bit and seek out the company of other people who share our
not so secret "bus problem."  We've been doing it since 1997 and Ihave lost
count of all of the rallies and campouts, but we have drawers full of T-
shirts, dash plaques, and even a couple of trophies.   And so many folks
we've met on our journey  that I' still tryin' to put names to all of your
faces.

  A short list of people whom I do recognise on sight and whose names you
probably know include Larry Chase, Maggie Dew, Frank Condelli, Darrell
Bohler, Dake Collins, Joy Hecht, Bill Monk, Joel Walker, Mike Collum, Mark
Dearing, Karl Mullendore ... who'm I forgetting?

  There are so many  active bus owners within a day's drive of Atlanta, we
are sometimes faced with a choice of events to attend, one example being is
 the 21 February weekend.

  It's either Floral City FL's, "Leap Into Spring" or Edisto Island, NC's,
"Freeze Yer Toe".  The difference in drive time is kind of a wash, so we're
planning to do the Florida thing.  We get to see some of our older friends
and meet other folks who have never got up this way before.  I'm pretty
sure that Darrel Bohler will be there - there's a facebook rumour that
 he's paddling a kayak somewhere in FL as I type.

   We've camped twice this year ... so far.  I just checked my calendar and
counted 17 events pending.  Nope - can't make every one, but there they are
and I might just try.   :-)

   Fun, travel, adventure, camaraderie, tequila - what better reasons for
bus ownership?
