As a variation to the famous Allan C & Bill S road trip of 2000, we may consider a Pied Piper version. That is one where one or more additional people could tag along (in their own vehicle) to the next several stops, then return home. This could be repeated throughout the entire trip. We still may need a solid core of one or two, but even they could drop out enroute and be replaced by another.
The up-side of this is that more 'catters could actively participate. The down-side of course would be a greater burden on the hosts/hostesses. The 'core' members should have priority on free room & board, while the 'followers' should be prepared to pay their own way as necessary.
It goes without saying that there will always be comfortable beds, good food, good friends, and fine music awaiting the travelling minstrels in Ada, OK and at the Oklahoma City Traditional Music Assn. octma
