Can you get to the bus station in Raleigh or Durham? If so, you can definitely make it to Charlotte.

Is Ethan traveling with Phish now? Try selling grilled cheese in the parking lots.

haha thanks for the help man, sorry for bothering you though. but ive got a bag thats 72inches and a bike thats over sized plus 2 sets of wheels. so i guess greyhood/ bus travel is out of the question......

Why don't you just pay the extra $25 per bag? It sucks but at least you get back to your car. Either that or hop out on I-40 and start hitching.

Quehl Man! dude you should come race beech mtn this weekend. then u might as well just kick it in the high country till the dirty bird!

Man....last second scrable for Snowshoe, now stuck in Cary after 30+hrs of Bromont driving. You should be a party planner for lazy masochists. Wait....yeah, that kind of works. Why don't you just hang out down here for a couple days til Beech...then hitch a ride home with any one of the Ashvilliatites.....Ashvilians.....guys from Ashville.

next time get on ride monkey when you want to ride
and not hitch a ride home
