Hobo is "ambassador sans portfolio" and doesn't need no stinkin' passport. Everybody here probably confuses him with 'Smokey the Bear' and they wave him through. Must be nice!

Besides, if he was an illegal...what would be his native tongue? :cool:

The illegals down at the flea market can fix you up with anything you want while you wait.

If you send me the little guy, I'll take him out to the finest night spots..

***EXTRA- Bear disappointed by M-Pete*** (but at least not injured) Mascot Hobo waited patiently on the pillion seat of Pete's Motorcycle, but to no avail....he was transported to the handoff in California by....pickup truck!! (Boooo.....Hisssss......) :shock:

Hopefully the next leg will go better, lil bear.... :waving:

Hobo arrived safetly in Redding California at the appointed time of 0900. Bob, w5blt, showed up about 5 minutes later.

As shown below, Hobo had breakfast with Bob and Pete. Let the record show that Bob is having French toast, and Pete had French crepes..... for the record though, I believe that, as the "child" of an English couple, Hobo is in fact English, or at least has dual citizenship.

Bob and Hobo have safely departed for Bob's home in Concord (east bay, San Francisco). Bob assures us that he will find someone soon to carry on the journey...

Well, as Motorcycle Pete says, I am moving on with w5blt (Bob).

A big :clapper:

to Motorcycle Pete for getting me across that big pond to America and from Oregon to sunny California. It would have been nice to travel by Goldwing, but you can't have everything I guess, just make sure you have it fixed when I next visit Pete

What new adventures are round the corner, I wonder :baffled:

For the moment, I'm

HOBO and I made it home safely. He enjoyed the ride. Well, accept for when we had 5 Hell's Angles pass us up. I think he a little intimitated.

In a day or two, he says he wants to visit San Francisco. What he wants, he gets.

Hobo also needs someone to volunteer to give him a ride for the next leg of his journey. If you'd like to get in on the action, please PM me. I'd be more than happy to meet someone half way within a reasonable distance (2-4 hour ride?).

Let's not let HOBO down! He's got itchy feet, ah, er, I mean, paws.....

Jeez, you might have just as well stuffed him in a box and shipped him UPS.

Hows about this?

Rudy!!! how could you be so cruel to a fellow creature. :baffled:

As resident ferret, you should be looking after Hobo, with his bear essentials. :goofygrin:

Nice to see that Hobo is gathering speed and heading on his way again, well done Pete and Bob, the breakfast looked to make it all worth while!!!!

If Hobo can make it within 1-200 miles of Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville that is, I'd be willing to take him to Bikes, Blues, and Bar-B-Que the first part of October. It would be a swell party for him to attend!... :cool:

If you get near Mississippi you got a place to rest and a wing to ride on
