Getting Ready To Head Out

Submitted by Josh on June 20, 2005 - 3:33pm.

We're getting ready to head out of the bay. I'm staying behind to work on the site a little more while Luke and Mark take the recently repaired truck out for some errands. Brian's going to lend his identity to a CostCo run, and there's some hardware to pick up in richmond so we can effectively lock our canopy.

Our Stuff
This is what our stuff looks like when it's not in the truck and when it is piled alongside a house in Berkeley.
I don't know how much I'll be able to finish before we take off, but I'm hoping by the time we leave LA we can have enough content piled up and organized to justify a mass email.

Until then... Update: The mechanics fixed NOTHING! Well, they may have fixed something. The hard shifting phenomena is gone, but the truck still sometimes doesn't shift at all.

We're thinking about just getting out on the road with it anyway. You'll be informed.

Hey Josh,
I understand where you're coming from on this one, but heading out like that might be penny wise and pound foolish. I would suggest that you read this week's New Yorker's article about Poppa Neutrino, who crossed the Atlantic in a raft made of plywood and cooler styrofoam. I feel that you will find whatever neccessary resolve from his experience.

Just seeing if this works. i've never blogged before. mark's mom insisted i go to this wacko website. hey, it's pretty cool. You guys are in St.George Utah as I write this. Mark, that is where Steve's sister sandy lives. but lookout, they're heavy mormons. Hope i didn't offend anyone. Godspeed on your travels, it sounds very adventurous, i will follow your journey. I do want to hear about how the visit went with Grandpa Frank, et al, in Lompoc. Hmmmmm........?
Hope the truck is still chugging along fine. Later.....
