Traveling buses are always awesome till they suck. I gotta commend huck for trying to start a traveling group out to help to communities they go through and spread a more positive image of travelers. He's far from the first but as far as the interweb goes I'd say he's breaking new ground. I heard about the Vagabus early on and hadn't heard anything about it since till today (I take extended trips to the woods) and sadly, it sounds like it went the way of most projects like it. Lots of initial energy brought by a group of dreamers with some elbow grease to an anti-climatic end brought on by the hypocrisy of those who claimed to be there to support it. It's easy to throw stones and criticize them for their failures but at the end of the day I think what they attempted was inspiring and since they documented it online, it can now serve as a case study on what not to do for other people with similar goals. Anyone who's rode in some rainbow buses knows that this is how things like this normally work out, the general reddit using population though, not so much. Huck seems to admit that relying on bum tricks for funding was one of their downfalls and appears to be attempting to correct that in some way. Personally I think he needs to loose the dirty kid romanticize if he ever wants this to work, but hey, it's his project not mine, and isn't it ultimately supposed to be about the journey and not the destination?
