In conjunction with Dave's 2010 Bum Tour, The Time is Now Tour seeks participant hosts to become part of a documented "trail of accomplishments." Invite Dave to visit, and then it's time to take action! As you--and possibly your spouse, significant other, family member, or friend--set about your undertaking, I'll join along as either an observer or participant. All experiences will be captured in writing and collected for future publication. Some experiences will be captured in pictures and/or video, also for possible publication.

You've got something you've been wanting to do or try, right? Maybe it's something grand like bungee jumping, sky diving, or white water rafting. Maybe it's something a little less extreme like visiting a museum or hiking a trail. It's even possible that you've just been wanting to try out a new (or new-to-you) restaurant or cook a new dish at home. However grand the idea, Dave is saying the time is now!

If you would like to be a part of this fantastic trail of accomplishments, just contact me and include your idea and the location.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Dave's "The Time is Now" Tour will not be providing any funding toward your endeavor, but Dave will pay his own way as a participant wherever applicable. Hosting expectations are outlined in Dave's 2010 Bum Tour "note" on Facebook, or contact Dave directly for details.

Following the Tour

As dates and locations are added to the tour, they will be posted to this calendar. Blog posts will periodically chronicle tour stops and adventures. Go to August 2010 to see the current schedule.

Travel (August 13)

On Friday morning, I headed out from Columbiana, OH to Elyria, OH in order to retrieve my camera and video camera. While in town, I had lunch with Mom at Dairy Queen, finally getting on the road to Arkansas around 2pm--that is a *very* late departure for this trip.

I hit Columbus, OH during rush hour which was not at all fun, but the delays were minimal. I hit Cincinnati, OH just in time for game day (Reds) traffic--ugh. About 20 miles east of Louisville, KY I drove directly into severe storm weather. It poured hard enough that traffic pulled off the road to wait it out. The following video helps visualize a little, but it had already begun to let up by the time I captured this footage.
Just before pulling over in the above spot, a flash of lighting appeared very close to my location. Sure enough, a downed tree was blocking the passing lane about 1.5 miles ahead of the above location--creepy.

The rest of the trip was uneventful. I finally pulled over for the night in Hurricane Mills, TN and got a good night sleep. With just a few hours left to Little Rock, AR, I hit the road again around 10am on Saturday.
