A vacation to remember

Up for auction at eBay -- it has three days left on the listing so go there and view this classic before it goes away.
The Ultimate Hippie Vacation!
If you are the winner of this auction, you and a guest will be picked up by my crazy brother-in-law, Cody, in his huge hippie bus, and he will take you on what he calls, "The Ultimate Hippie Vacation!"
  • Old Hippies - Relive The Good Ol' Days!
  • New Hippies - Experience the USA Like You Never Have Before!
  • Crazy People - Hang Out With One of Your Own Kind!
The Rules of the Trip:
  1. You will be required to sell Tie-dyed T-shirts for gas and food money.
  2. There is no map on the bus and he WILL get lost.
  3. Stuff Happens! (And you know what I mean!)
  4. If the bus blows up, he has a tent.
  5. You must provide your own bail money. (Please see rule 3)
  6. He will provide "the most craziest vacation you will never forget!"
Okay, the deal is, my brother-in-law and his huge hippie bus moved into our backyard. AND WE WANT HIM OUT! Please help us by bidding on this auction! Every bid moves him one step farther out of our yard!

About my brother-in-law, he may be a little "touched in the head." He just showed up a few weeks ago (unannounced of course) from California and parked his Hippie Bus in our yard. Apparently, he was fleeing from some sort of alien or supernatural invasion or something like that. (If you win, he'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to explain that one to you.) Anyway, his bus really stands out up here in the Ozarks of NW Arkansas (not too many hippies around here), and the neighbors have started to "talk".

It really didn't help matters much when, 2 weeks ago, we got a call from an elderly lady that lives down the road from us. She was out of breath and could barely get out the words: "I just saw Cody runnin' down the road "nekkid" as a jaybird! You best git your husband down here to fetch him or else I'm callin' the law!" Well, she did call the "law" and now he needs money for his newest court date.

Oh yes, he has other "court dates" and if you schedule your vacation at just the right time, I'm sure he'd be happy to include one on the itinerary. And about the itinerary... he says he'll go wherever "the voices" tell him to go... So, your guess is as good as mine!

The trip could last at the least, a few days and at the most, a lifetime. It all depends on how long you want to live in a Hippie Bus with a crazy guy!
And there is a lot lot more -- go and read the whole listing. Some of the photos are wonderful -- here is Cody in contact with the Mother Ship:
