skyringIn April 2011 the BookCrossing anniversary convention will be held in Washington DC. I'll be there (naturally) and I'm pencilling in a roadtrip. Just sketchy at the moment, but it's something my co-driver and I have been kicking around for a bit.
We fly into New York, where one of my taxidriver contacts will have bought us a second-hand yellow cab, one of those big old Ford Crown Victorias. We then drive down to DC for the convention.
After the con, we drive to Chicago, where Route 66 begins. And follow it all the way down to Los Angeles. Side trips to Lamberts Cafe in Missouri, possibly Las Vegas. After dipping our toes in the Pacific at Santa Monica, we head north along Highway 1 to San Francisco. Where we leave the cab, auctioned off on eBay.
We two cabbies may do a bit of charity fund-raising along the way.
If we have enough interest, we could do a convoy of multiple vehicles.
As I said, just pencilled in, many of the details to be worked out, but we're thinking about it and thinking it sounds like a plan.
