March 15th - April 1st, 2024
Starting at Estate of Mind, we're driving across the US in a bus, visiting intentional communities and other destinations along the way. If your community is along the way, or you want to join us for part or all of the trip, get in touch. Friends of friends are welcome but please let us know in advance so we can include you in planning.

Sparr is relocating to SF for full-time work, using the tour bus he used for my trip from San Francisco to Boston in 2021. It's currently set up with 12 seats, a small kitchenette, toilet, and shower, and a lot of empty space for beds or couches or hammocks or however else we want to set it up. There's plenty of cargo space underneath, so we could move boxes or furniture along the way as well.

We're leaving Friday, March 15. In the morning, unless someone commits to the trip who can't leave until after school/work. Planned arrival date in SF is April 1.

Approximate route is shown in the event image. Anchor cities are New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St Louis, Denver, Bozeman, Seattle, Portland. Between now and the start of the trip we'll nail down specific stops and detours.

The headline theme of intentional communities was the top choice in my survey of the first ~16 friends who expressed interest in coming along. Our second priority will be natural environments and activities (forests, rivers, lakes, mountains, swimming, hiking, camping, etc). There will also be some stops in major cities for tourist-y things, including some on my bucket list.

Overnight stops will prioritize intentional communities, homes of friends, campgrounds, and then other options.

We would appreciate help with the cost of fuel and maintenance along the way, but that's not necessary and I welcome friends and friends of friends to join the trip regardless.
