LIKE A FLY ON THE WALL

"WELL, THERE GOES ANOTHER $1000!
AND IT SEEMS OUR WINNER, MIKE KERSHNAR,
SPENT THE PRIZE MONEY BEFORE HE EVEN GOT
HIS HANDS ON IT. IN HOPES OF ONE DAY
GETTING AN A-TEAM CHECK, MIKE BORROWED
CASH FROM HIS MOM AND TOOK THE FIRST
BUS OUT OF TOWN. HERE'S WHAT HE WROTE
ABOUT HIS TRIP: CHET THOMAS
"MY GIRLFRIEND, AVA, AND I TOOK A TRIP ON
THE GREEN TORTOISE, WHICH IS A BIG 1945
L.A. METRO BUS WITH A HUGE BED INSIDE.
IT DRIVES AT NIGHT MOSTLY, SO DURING
THE DAY WE ADVENTURED OUTDOORS.
WE RIVER RAFTED DOWN THE SNAKE RIVER
AND SAW ALL THE BISON AND GEOLOGICAL
CRAZINESS AT YELLOWSTONE. ONE OF MY
FAVORITE PLACES WAS THE BADLANDS OF
SOUTH DAKOTA. WE ALSO GOT INTO AN
AUTHENTIC BLUES BAR IN CHICAGO AND
GOT TO HEAR SOME GOOD LIVE MUSIC.
WE ARRIVED IN NYC AND HAD THE BEST
TIME RIDING SUBWAYS AND WATCHING
SHOWS. THE TRIP WAS ONE OF THE BEST
EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE."
