If anything happens to your bus around San Antonio and need something just let me know there's lots of good people around here or if you want to take a 30 minute detour off I10 west feel free to swing by Devine, Texas 78016.
Later

If you make it thru Phoenix, Tempe drop an email.
Be prepared, local temps in the mid afternoon till 7:00pm will be 105 plus, the deserts will be much hotter. Try to do most of your long runs early morning until noon.

Alright some UK Vdubbers coming to the States !! It was good meeting Darren in England. Make sure and hit me up when you guys get in to Southern California for OCTO. I want to "pay it forward" the awesome hospitality that was given to me when I went to VolksWorld show UK recently.

| I'm hoping that you drive through the Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park on your way from Vegas to the Long Beach. If so, hit me up. I am in Twentynine Palms. High of 105 today. Be prepared. |

Me and the Brickhaus guys(http://brickhausrestorations.com/) will be headed to OCTO Thursday night before the show from Phoenix/Tempe area. If you're in the Phoenix area you should definitely check out their shop before hitting the road onward to CA. I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for you guys! Maybe even grab some beers!
