    From the center of Texas, I'm taking the bus for 2+ days... It goes all the way to Medway while anything else (train or plane) needs a bus from Bangor or Portland to medway anyway. I'm not sure what the going price is... it was $91 when I first checked it out, but I paid $112 by the time I booked.

    :banana hey yall - mid july, gear advice, & a dancing banana?

    well another new kid on the block, but still sorting out all the details, and hopefully starting out during the middle of july!

    as for the details, im working on the cash and planning, but more importantly, gear... traveling through costa rica this past winter i had all my stuff stolen...including some well loved and severely missed items. i'd love suggestions for pack size, stove type, and where i can find the best decent priced, GOOD, raingear...preferably gortex...
