Goin to the gathering?

It anyone goin to the rainbow gatherin in Virgina this year?

 

west virginia

 

I plan on going, as well as to the Peace Conspiracy in a few days, hopefully I'll be able to get from Missouri to the gathering.

 

I want to, but no $$, no ride, tis type of shit ALWAYS seems to happen to me whenever I want to do something cool

 

thats what thumbs are for... an who needs money,, its a gathering..
ya wanna go, go!!!

 

Greyhound tickets are cheap. And if you really want to go and have no money at all then quite whinning and hickhike, or go to one of the rainbow ridesahre sites and find a ride.

 

Hitchhiking is very good to do. Last year I travelled 1300 km this way in 7 days.

 

EVERYONE GET TO THE NATIONAL SITE QUICK!!! WE ARE BEING BLOCKADED, AND THE NATIONAL GUARD IS BEING ACTIVATED. COME HOME QUICKLY!!!!! Directions: Go to Elkins, WV. Get on Hwy. 33 East, travel till you see some family at a restaurant in alpeena. Turn left and go 5 miles. PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!

 

would love to come home, but... Well see for yourself http://thebusfamily.tripod.com/id12.html

 

I know this sounds stupid, and you probably already tried already, but have you tried to put like a wooden plank under each wheel to get it to grip?

 

I was going to suggest kitty litter untill i looked at the pics but maybe you could find a farmer or a logger ( i had a bus stuck a lot worse than that and a log skidder pulled it out no probs cost me 20 bucks ) good luck and hope to see you in WV

 

Hey Busmama,

What part of Ohio are you stuck in?

 

*one* person could get it out eventually, two reasonably, and a crowd of happy hippies could do it in no time at all.

Remove all the heavy objects you can from the bus. Create a very wide base with plywood etc. under the rear axle on the more stuck side, and jack the rearend (not the body).

This is a dangerous step if you're not careful or take it too far, but it's been done a million times.

once that wheel lifts a bit, start shoving stones into the area beneath. Again, very carefully in case the jack fails etc!

once you can't get any more under there, jack it up a bit more and repeat, as far up as the jacking can go OR until the tire is more or less at ground level.

You may have to lower the bus to compact the fill then raise it again and shove more rocks.

Use more small rocks to extend this trail in front of your drive wheels. Make it a bit wide because the bus may wander if only one side gets traction at first.

eventually, you'll have a strip of solid ground. Cross finders and start moving forward, not so fast tht the wheels spin another hole, not so slowly that you aren't building momentum.

KEEP GOING until you hit totally solid ground!

Safari vehicles generally have a heavy winch at the front for just such occasions, but if you don't, ONE person can use the laws of physics (and a lot of looped pulleys) to slowly, slowly pull that bus out.

And yes, I have seen one hippie move a loaded schoolie out of the mud, and I went through these routines myself untold times with VW campers.

Good luck!

This is the a place where you can email the governer of WV. Please do maybe it will help maybe it won't, but its worth a shot. Be sure to remind him of all the money the local econmey stands to gain.
