I wish that I was hardcore as far as retrieving buses.
I like your writing style. Have you ever thought about publishing a book about your exploits? It woiuld be quite interesting.

For what it's worth, I've harassed Brian about doing this many times. Even offered to edit it for free.  But he's yet to take up that torch...tho he's taken a torch to many other things.

First update from Brian at 12:29 pm
"Finally heading up the mountain, no problems, just delays. Hope to report in the early evening... Oaks and Redwoods now dominate the landscape, powerlines stop, we're going off the grid now..." |

We can get up to the minute updates but yet it still feels like we are the family gathered around the radio for the live broadcast in the 50s.

This is true! Organizing his stories perhaps is a better term...formatting, even!

Hilarious, and so true. Hope all is well, it's been a few hours since we had an update.
