Leg six pt. 1

"Alright kids, you got 10 days to find a new car & cross the continent."

We smashed into some vehicle trouble in New Hampshire.  Dan Hapgood & Jeremiah Walton worked odd ball jobs & 9-5s to gather the needed resources to hit the road.  Photographer Emily Kask joined on board to shoot a documentary of Books & Shovels.  We were all hyped.  The day before we hit the road, the front end of Hapgood's van rusted out.  Unable to depart as scheduled, we scrambled thru Craigslist seeking a potential vehicle for a grand.  We had a little over a week to find & repair a car that would get us to Lit Crawl San Francisco, to Tucson, & onto the next tour.  

Well, stubborn will power & rolling the die worked out for us.  I write this in Tucson, AZ, after straight shooting 3,200 miles from New Hampshire to California over 3 1/2 days to make it in time for the show.
