Got Weed?


When you see a large blue bus converted to RV with bearded and long haired people driving down the highway, what are your first thoughts? Some might say, “Fun Times” but we were still somewhere outside of Charlotte when someone else said, “High Times”!

Two kids sporting bandanas and long hair fly past us in a topless CJ-5, the driver’s neck bent backwards in awe of ole Don. We blew the air horn and raised a fist as if to say, “roll on hippie dudes!” Our friends slowed down until they were just off our front fender and gave the universally understood “Got weed?” motions. (Note photo above for clarification). We were left shrugging our shoulders in our inability to supply their needs. What a travesty folks! What an abomination! We’re nearly out of our own state and we still don’t have any weed.

for the 5 of you that were wondering........I'm just kidding.

PS: We were approached in a restaurant called FATZ by the pastor of FBC in Boone, NC although we were actually in Gaffney, SC at the time. He was in town for a funeral and he took notice of Sexton’s “Stop Genocide in Sudan” shirt which is of course what it's supposed to do. He ended up praying for our journey before we left which was cool. We actually hadn’t stopped to pray for the trip at that point and this was kind of like God taking care of us in spite of it. I feel certain that the Wild Goose was letting us know that He was in on this trip and that He has something specific to say to us all if we’re up for listening.
