At our last general 350 meeting, a loose plan developed to encourage bus ridership amongst ourselves and to hopefully, eventually, educate and encourage our friends and neighbors to try the bus also. Six of us rode around Arcata a few weeks ago, chatting, laughing, asking questions of some very helpful bus drivers about passes, routes, etc. After the ride, we went out for lunch in Arcata. We had a great time and hope to continue with possibly monthly rides, combined with lunch or other events to make bus riding easy and playful. (And to hang out in person instead of zoom!) Who says climate work can’t sometimes be fun?

We are planning another bus riding event for Tuesday morning, Dec 6! The destination this time will be Eureka, possibly a hike on Hikshari’ Trail and/or lunch if we can find a place with outdoor seating and it’s not raining. We will have to pin down the details closer to the day as much depends on weather but we can make the general plan and lock in the day now.

Who wants to join us? Let me know if you are interested in a group bus ride/hike/lunch Tuesday morning Dec 6 so I can keep you posted on the where, when and what. Please put “Bus Fun” in the email title.
