So like most people, I was thinking that the 56 hour bus ride would be miserable but actually I’m having a lot of fun. We’re meeting so many people that have traveled all over the nation this way their whole lives. They have a type of life experience that you don’t see in most people you meet. Guys who jump from city to city just scraping by but doing what they want. There’s this one guy we call “Gold Digger” who’s going to Golden, Colorado to pan for gold. He just wanted to try it so he hopped on a bus and has been with us since Cbus. Of course there’s lots of weird people like “the Scotsman” who has a huge red beard and is wearing a dress. Strange guy but one of the older guys on the bus talked to him and I guess he just was trying to get some clothes and all they had was this skirt thing so he was like sure I’ll take it. Ya still really weird but come on, classic Scotsman. Aaron was unfortunately trapped in a conversation with some crazy woman who kept trying to relate everything to the bible hahaha.
Imagine if we flew out here. Ya sure we’d be in the valley already and we’d be planning our routes but we would have missed all the stories. We wouldn’t be able to talk about “Crazy” who was eating out of the trash and was kicked off our bus and then pooped all over the bus that’s following us. Or “Hollywood” (who looks eerily similar to Dax Shepard) who pulled an extension cord from his bag and asked if he could use the outlet on our seat.
Besides the “cool” people we also get to see the country. Seeing the St. Louis arch, gateway to the west, couldn’t have been a more fitting start to our journey. I’d have no idea that Kansas is the absolute most boring state ever. All I ask for is a tree to stare at or maybe one hill but no, nothing for miles and miles. And we haven’t even gotten to the most interesting part of the trip. So if you’re reading thanks again and stay tuned for more interesting pictures and I’m sure more stories.
Having a blast…
