LR- Possilbe Ride to Gulf Wars

[Bill Osterheim]

Sluggester! If you don't come up with something better, think flying. Roughly an
hour drive to the New Orleans airport from camp, and I just checked... NW has
round trip tickets for $169, though you would need to leave tuesday AM to get
that price. (evening trips are higher) Yes, I said round trip - one way tickets
are $316! You can buy the RT and just not show up for the return.
outa the box and into the air!  Somehow, I don't think they want my pile of junk
as luggage, or I would be doing this!
