I miss my buddy out in B.C., and I'm going stir crazy here, so I'm planning to cross the country on a bus. It's a matter of money, I have none. $166.00 will get me there by Greyhound. Two days and 18 hours without a shower. Eating bus-stop food when you're a vegetarian. I've done it before in other countries, but I was younger then. I know that this is my last chance to visit my beloved mountains, not to mention that I've known this man since we were teenagers, and have kept in touch ever since.

I'm going to have to pack one hell of a lunch, Scotch included.

Thanks for reading a slice of my life. Paws

Who knows, you may meet some hot babe that's not showered for 3 days. The commonality of the human experience! thumbs up

I'll bring along a full bottle of Dunhill and wear a hat to cover the greasy hair.

What would happen if one of the women that I mentioned actually took me up on the offer ? Wow, reality would take a brake from cyber-space and cause me to deal with what is REAL. Could I deal with that ?

I don't think so. Most stops are 45 minutes, basically for food and new passengers.

Don't worry about showing up in BC all greasy haired and unshowered, there's tons of people that look like that ever day here.
