Fishhead's Journey to Vegas (on the road with Fish live update thread)

[Journeyman]

Fish left sometime yesterday from Tampa and will be making posting appearances from libraries and kinko's when time permits...hopefully he will not have any trouble on his Journey to Vegas cross country tour....

He's supporting himself by selling Green Bay Packer's Cheeseheads out of his Fish mobile, aka 1968 Volkswagon Bus

 

[Journeyman]

where is he and how can you see him ?

Posted just a few minutes ago by Fish;

...quote- Just took off from the Grand Casino in Kinder, LA.

I am halfway between there and Shreavport currently in a small town called Natchitoches.

Will be visiting the Horseshoe and 3 other casinos in Shreavport in a couple hours.

May chances of making it for the bash are about 30-70..........but I will do my best to make it on time.

Shoot, I forgot, have to pick up BUCS at the airport on WED......end quote


He did not mention how many Cheeseheads he's sold

I am sure Alamo will be happy when he comes back with 5000 miles. Have a safe trip sir.

 

[Fishhead]

Having a very hard time getting out of Louisana...........for a variety of reasons.

JMAN- It must be nice not to be attending the bash, allows you to bust everybodys chops easier!

If you were coming, I would never give you a ride in my vehicle after you making fun of it.

Kyhawk-- Will not be surprised at all if I top the 7,000 mile range considering all the back roads I am taking.

Think about it sir.......I just took off from Kinder, Louisana.

Look that up on the map and tell me I am not off the beaten path somewhat............currently in Natchitoches, about 100 miles north of Kinder.

 

[Journeyman]

Fish I was merely honoring your vintage classic ride...and besides Bro, you know I love ya

BTW Fish, Sveum was up to his old tricks last night

 

[Journeyman]

We need a road map with the Fishmoble marking the trek...this may call for Wilheim's magic...

 

[wilheim]

Maybe later with a map. For now I wish Fish a great:

wil.

 

[Fishhead]

Thanks Wilheim

On that note, time to hit the road again.

Later batposters!
