US INSTITUTE HAS EMBARKED! OUR JOURNEY HAS BEGUN- we are ecstatic to be together, and inspired by the blank canvas ahead, and facing quite a challenge... for those of you who dont know us... i write on behalf of a wonderful group of humans who have just recently embarked on a phenomenal journey together. We have been planning a 4 and a half month wilderness backpacking trip together for over 15 months, and we left yesterday from santa cruz heading to a grandmother's commune in Arizona where the grandmothers are waiting for us to hold three days of send-off ceremony... however, our biodiesel landrover broke down on our way up the grapevine... we blew the head gasket... we are looking for a new diesel 10-15 passanger van, or someone to buy our biodisel landrover once we fix the gasket, or any other way that we may continue on our journey while trying to maintain our commitement to commuting sustainably.... any help or suggestions you have... including a mechanic that can work on foreign cars for a REALLY reasonable price (we are already THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OVER OUR BUDGET!!! we would appreciate it so much.... thankyou and the big ol blessings, The Us Institute, a bunch of sweet souls lookin to manifest our journey in ease!</div> Wed, 04 Apr 2007 02:49:59 GMT http://people.tribe.net/ba9a2aa7-1cfe-4b89-a566-61eb9a19455d/blog/618dca70-6fde-4ff1-8b60-15badcc7d74b Kate *DeLuna* 2007-04-04T02:49:59Z
