One of the brilliant aspects of the diversity of this community is that there is never just one correct approach.
I agree totally. Sitting around a camp fire at the BLM campground before Buses by the Bridge, and later at Buses by the Bridge, I was struck by how different many of us and at the same time I was even more struck by the level of acceptance and nonjudgmental aspect of the group. A real mix of folks who come from different backgrounds and different parts of North America. There was a spirit there that was was far more important than what you chose to travel with laptop, cell phone, DVD, TV. That spirit was about traveling and about being in the moment. It seems to be that once you start judging how others should travel you take yourself out of that connection. For the most part most of chose to focus on what we have in common and what we share not the small differences that don't really matter a whole bunch.
