In the 70's if my memory serves, a month ticket on any Greyhound bus anywhere in the USA plus Canada and up to Alaska was 99 dollars...at a time when the dollar was around 2.4 to the £. In total across two years I spent 6 months over there, at least 3 months on the road....loads of memories and incidents ...good and bad....sex (those american gals were very open, carefree and accomodating, flower power etc) drugs and rock n' roll in no particular order, plus guns pulled on me at least 3 times, one a cop, one a nervous traveller who I asked for directions, one a couple of looney wild westers from a pick-up in a hick town. Overall a great experience ....the world has moved on since those days, and not all for the better I'm afraid. Across the summer of course, did not want to miss the Spurs....
