Barbara, National Parks Loop, National Parks Loop

I am going on the July 2 trip. Wanted to know if anyone could tell me what to expect temperature wise and what I should pack.

Has anyone who has gone on this trip tried to do any biking?

What do I need to know about the overnight Grand Canyon trip, like food and supplies?

What's the most exciting thing I'll see or do?

Can't wait...I'm so excited and would appreciate any information you could pass along that would help me to know what to expect.

See you on the bus!

Ariel , New York, NY, Nervous but SO excited

Hi there!

I was going on two vacations this summer, but both were cancelled due to circumstances. So I've decided I'd take a cross-country trip of my own! I need to escape my everyday life for a bit.



Tough part is, I'm not sure which trip to go on. I want to go to different places in all the Cross-Country options. I suppose I'll have to choose soon.



My biggest problem is that I don't often fit in with new people (or old friends either) and I'm sort of worried that, although I'm sure will meet people, I may not become close with anyone and not enjoy my trip to its full potential. Any suggestions on how to ensure this doesn't happen? I'm very friendly and open-minded, just not much of a talker.. looking forward to the trip though!

Thanks! =)

Avi Bonime, New York, NY, Looking for Victor!!

Looking for GT Rider / Friend!

I traveled with GT in the summer of '88 (Nat'l Parks Loop). On board was a rider named Victor, who was no stranger to the Tortoise having been on 8 trips previous (Alaska, Baja, etc.) and most likely several after as well. He worked as a translator at a 'school for the deaf'.

Our drivers... this trip included Bob & Simone.

Does anybody know Victor or know how he can be reached? Even leads would help - as I would like to drop him a line and say hi!

Please send replies via email address!!

Visualize World Peace!

Tricia, Vallejo, CA, First GT Trip since 1983

Hi -

Didn't think that I would ever find myself on a GT 27 years down the road, lots of interesting things have happened between then and now...perhaps I've come full circle? Or is this just the beginning? Well, anyway - here I am! If you are going on the Death Valley Loop from 2/12 to 2/16 drop me a line and touch base with me so I can get a heads up on who my travel companions will be!
