We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... Hij wist het mooi op te vangen: "It took me forty years to **** that up". Haha!<br><br>Op dit moment zijn John &amp; Janet nog niet op, maar daar zal snel verandering in komen. En dan gaan we naar Chicago. Eh... was de laatste show niet in Milwaukee? Ja, klopt - goede lezer. Maar Chicago ligt op de route dus de eerste overnachtig doen we daar. Zowel John als ik zijn daar nog nooit geweest (John komt niet uit Detroit).<br><br>Anyway - tot zover. <br><br>Liefs ...

... for gifts and souvenirs on the return trip...<br><br>There's a old travel rule of thumb..."Never travel with more than you can run with for a quarter mile."<br><br>Gotta' work on that.<br><br>Thanks to 'Beca, Mark and Layla for their marvelous hospitality! It won't be three years again before we visit. Save the milkweed! Save the Monarchs!<br><br>Adeau America!<br>

If you are EVER in the south central Michigan area, definitely, DEFINITELY, visit the Travelers Club and Tuba Museum in Okemos! This great restuarant serves a different ethnic/national food theme each month, in addition to a full line of 'regular' food and beers. HOW'S THIS for a delicious Swedish dinner? We had split pea soup, smoked white fish, pickled herring, rye bread with herb butter, haroset (applesauce, cinnamin and ...

I am still at home. Only one more week. Being away from my home for three weeks requires a lot of preparation. I even know the movie that are going to have on the Flight. I am tired already!! Since I will be on a plane for almost 24 hours, I am collecting all the necessary stuff needed to be comfortable. <br>

... folks... which always makes for an even more fun time! There were signs all over the place warning about the amount of blood and how it was very likely you would get sprayed. Much like the splash zones in SeaWorld. They sold ponchos at the door, or you could provide your own covering. Anne, of course, had already seen the show, and knew where to sit us so we wouldn't get sprayed. The lady in front of me was hilarious, she cut a hole in a regular Kroger plastic bag ...

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many <br><br>Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt. No problem other than a sticking lock on the propane door.

... is a Detroit icon that has been brought back to life. It was fantastic. They did a lovely job. That evening I met with some girl friends and Steve took the boys out. What fun. It was so good to be with family and friends. It was great to see our niece, Taylor. She is getting so big and Christmas was loads of fun with her. But it is time to go. We are off to California to visit Steve's family for New Years.

... the first time in the parking lot at the local shopping centre. Some big stores like Wal-Mart welcome RVers to camp overnight in their lots. I am writing this in a Wal-Mart lot in Albuquerque New Mexico surrounded by 8 other motorhomes all forming an unofficial campground. We have found these other travelers more friendly than the official campground types in their big ¼ million dollar + rigs ...

... punk-calling BS on our silly assumptions. In rereading these pieces, or at least reading around all the dated and intentionally incendiary references, you also realize what an amazing writer Sinclair was in a period when one didn't have to be all that great with words to get published in Creem or even Ramparts. It was Sinclair's communication skills, of course, that led the MC5 to buy into his politicized vision of rock 'n' roll for the people-they were the ...
