Four weeks from now I will be at a place called the Rampaging Spot. It'll be dark, cold, perhaps damp, and I'll be surrounded by a bunch of other VW bus owners. At 4.30am the next morning, February 1st, we'll run to our buses and start the most insane marathon drive to Mount Shasta, CA ever. The Shasta Snow Trip. More than 15 hours of driving unpaved backroads; a test of skill, endurance, and one's cojones! It's taken me three years of committing to and then bailing on the trip to get to this point. I mean, I've become a true "snowflake" to this group. I need to go this year. Need. The bus is just about as ready as it's gonna get. I've got supplies and a co-pilot. I have my mapbook and keep looking at it and imagining what it'll be like to really be on the trip. Am I scared? Hell, yes! Am I excited? You bet!! Do I still need to learn how to put on chains? Yeah, gotta work on that.
