ANNOUNCEMENT: DHARMA TRACKS Across AMERICA (Jul-Aug) & WASHINGTON RETREAT (Aug 9-14)

[Nenka]

If you want to stop in Springfield, Illinois (we have an Amtrak station!) we can put you guys up for a night or whatever. Our schedule is open.

Or, when you get to Chicago, I'd like to meet up with you.

I know you aren't headed this far West, but had you, know that you and your family will always have a place to rest in my home. That pretty much stands for anyone here.

Visit California..before it's a desert.

Thank you everyone.

Jen, well, Springfield. That is where Abe Lincoln is from. Didn't he do a famous whistle stop on the train? Maybe we should call this "Whistle Stop Sesshin"!

Yes, I will try to arrange that we can meet there or Chicago. Dosho, I will be seeing you probably in Rochester (and at Taigu's Sesshin in D.C., of course).

And to everyone ... thank you for helping with this great experiment.

Hi Jundo,

We should definitely be able to host in August. I know that the dates you mentioned included Mid-July (to late August, I think); Mid-July will most likely be a time when my wife and I are out of town (it's both of our birthdays and we usually visit family then). August, on the other hand, we will be here. Here is Spartanburg, SC.

I'll send you a PM shortly.

Gassho,
Alan

Thats great Jundo! If perhaps you're in the Netherlands next year i can arrange a sleeping place

Good Lord, yes. It's all Lincoln, all the time. Actually I can hook you up with a VIP/behind-the-scenes tour of one of the most prominent Lincoln sites, if you're interested (my husband is assistant curator.)

I'll make this brief here. Yes! In Georgia, and my 2 sons will be 10 and 11 at this time. Will send you private message.

Clark, how far are you from Atlanta? I would be willing to drive a couple hours to hang out with you and Jundo and do some hard core shikantaza.

Also if the rail trip passes through Atlanta Jundo, his son, and you are all welcome to visit and/or crash at my tiny apartment and eat college student crock pot food until you are stuffed. It would be a tight fit, but I'm sure we could manage

<edit= I plan on at least making a couple days of the sesshin right now, so my offer is mainly to offer a way point if needed and to join in if you are passing close by>

[Ishin]

Hi Nengyo, see private message.

I'd love to visit when/if you pass within a few states of Mississippi.

Excellent, Syd. I am still playing "connect the dots", but will be in touch on some dates and places.

Gassho, Jundo

[Ed]

Wrote to Doshin and Boca. I volunteer to pick you up but I'm sure all yer pals here would be eager to get you two.
I do look forward to seeing you should you come.

I can't leave my family and travel down to Washington, but I see that the northeast Amtrak line has a stop in Toronto, just an hour north of the border. . I wonder how many Treeleafers are in Southern Ontario ? Our own house is crowded with three generations but I would be happy find and cover good accommodation, and-or co-ordinate with other Ontario Treeleaf folks.
It would be wonderful to meet you and connect in person.
