...the start...

...The summer will have a great start... It will be very different from all the other summers what was... or the ones that are yet to come...

9000 miles of open road...
15 kids...
21 days...
27 states... here is our route

...it all started with John... read his interview:
Daily collegian Article

it is all coming together... here is an update of what is going on with the bus...

john (under the bus) is clearing out the back of the bus... hopefully a couch and some carpet is going to take its place...

we will be having a meeting this saturday... hopefully everyone is going to be there... check back here for updates... or photos: my flickr set

...during our trip across the nation... we will also be trying to collect money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society... I am still trying to get in touch with them and see how to go about doing that...

hopefully we will have everything ready to go off by the 25th... we are looking for sponsors to help us set up wireless internet and GPS tracking for our yellow bus so that we can keep a live blog... so keep checking back... wish us luck...
