Please clue me in..

What's a BOOB?

Brotherhood Of Oil Burners?

( The other meaning for me is not a hot topic of discussion here ).

yep, it used to be a sort of backup older chat site. i am not sure it is even still around or could be accessed. i believe i set up and account but it has been 10+ years.

National Lampoon's vacation but with trucks! Lol
I was thinking more along the lines of "Convoy". Either way, I ain't eating any sandwiches , but I'd be glad to watch someone else drive off a bridge!:joker: If it's around July 4TH, we'd better not go to Moab or the Grand Canyon. If I could get an A/C set up in my slide in camper, I'd take it. Otherwise, I'd be tenting it. My slide in with no A/C would be entirely too hot during the summertime. I'd still be in either way! Depending on campsite locations, I may even bring along an ATV or two.

This is a fantastic idea!

Would take a lot of planning and commitment. Glad you stepped up for the challenge.

I would love to join at least some portion of the trip. I can only commit to about 10 days (weekends +5 weekdays).

I might be interested, but I drive like a granny. LOL

Might at least meet up at Yellowstone, since I already have that in mind this summer. It just depends on the route.

It was originally supposed to be for 2021. That was due to the complicated logistics of planning something like this. It was mentioned in another thread before this one was started, but I can't remember which one it was.

I'd love for it to still have legs. Seems we're in a bit of a holding pattern for now.

And as always still open for suggestions on format, locations, timeframe etc.

I am more than happy to continue tossing ideas around.
gathering options, tweaking logistics, getting feedback.

So when the apocalypse settles down a bit, we have a rough plan to work off.
And we are not starting from a dead stop with outdated/expired info.

Given the free time I seem to have recently... I did some browsing on the interwebs... to see what the state of BOOB was..

It looks like most mentions of BOOB were about a decade ago.. and things have dropped off/quieted down the last few years. (at least from what google, bing and duckduckgo say)

It looks like there was a website on yuku.com that has since gone the way of the dodo, and there was once an effort to have members pin their location on a map.



Since there appears to be interest in a BOOB POWER TOUR..

Is there any interest in revitalizing "brotherhood of oil burners" a bit more formally?


If we use the "stone soup" method, and everyone contributes an idea as to what that'd like to see, we may be able to flush out a pretty good framework.

Even it is for something informal and lighthearted.
Like a convoy driving across several states every few years to a campground, stopping every two hours to ***, get fuel, drink coffee, put names with faces, then turn around and drive back the way we came.

This is not meant to step on anyone's toes, or take away from something that already exists.. I just wanted to put it out there..


Thoughts?
