> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by norinew \* > \*\ ***bouv** , whereabouts do you live? Would it help if you could get to where we are and carpool with us? \*\* Well, I just did Mapquest directions to Cumberland, MD, and it’s actually further away than Harper’s Ferry. I live in NY, so no matter what, it is a long trek. I calculated that I need anywhere between $60 and $90 for gas, depending on how the prices are down there. A bus will run me over $100 (it was much cheaper the last time I went, I got a great deal.) I’ll be able to know better once I get into October. ---

**bouv** , if your trip takes you down I-81, we can give you a ride. We’re right off the Interstate in Carlisle PA. It’ll save you some gas and give Aaron someone to play with. 🙂 ---

Offer’s still open. Depending on if I drag my brother along, we might have room for one more or we might not. Unless your BF isn’t up for another round of “the cow is not a doper”😉 [sub]Not gonna comment on the public sex thing.[/sub] ---
