Book List
Hey guys, I know we talked about some ‘required’ reading before the trip and I thought it would be helpful to collaborate a little beforehand (hence this post). All I’ve got is The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe, On The Road by Jack Kerouac, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream by Hunter S. Thompson. I’ve done very little in terms of research and don’t really know where to start, but hopefully you do : )
Cheers,
Dan V.
Floorplan
A basic floor plan I sketched up. I’ve been musing with a bunch of ideas for a while, and I think this is the most all-purpose plan. The backs of the benches can span across the walkway between the two to make decent sized beds. The dinettes will also fold down to create the bottom bunk. And the recliner will stretch out over the stairs when you recline.
Other Trips
I’m not sure why, but this summer I’ve seen more websites pop up about people’s trips. I don’t know if more people are traveling or if more people are blogging, but there are a lot of websites up about people in motion. Some folks are traveling in their cars/vans, living in them as they go. Some are traveling by bike, or on foot. Then there are the larger scale trips that have a decent sized number of people on them, and have been going for years (BioTour, Big Green Bus, etc).
I’ve added links to many of these sites on our links page, and I suggest you check them out.
They’re pretty interesting, and I’m certain you’ll find at least one that you’ll keep up with.
Maybe more of these blogs are popping up because there is a growing interest in this type of project. I know that nearly everyone I’ve talked to about the Juan Way Tour was immediately interested in the idea, having thought about doing something similar. I wonder what’s causing the interest.
