1. Yo's Trip: Introduction
The following was a chronicle of events taking place in 2002 to 2003 during my trip from Canada through the heartlands of America. My ability to attend these events was enabled by Hemphry a wonderful 1971 Vw WESTFALIA with a hempfield painted all around it.

Hemphry is an economical 4 cylinder vehicle that consumes gasoline. This fossil fuel consumption created the biggest dilemma I had encountered so far with these travels. please understand. I had just finished a long-distance cross country bike ride and would recommend riding a bike any time you could, especially a long trip. You'll gain an appreciation for the outdoors, the pace, the birds and the scents of the land. It was with chagrin that I was booting around America in a gas guzzler like Hemphry.

That said, I give thanks to Pure Hemp for making this happened and giving myself and the riders in Hemphry a miracle of an experience. Michael the artist (who painted Hemphry) deserves much respect, as his creation was the redemption of our mission. The Karmic trade-off of driving came back with seeing people's reactions who saw us driving down the road. Seeing us really made some people's day. It was such a blessing to be a part of the growing HEMP movement.
