Subject:      T-Shirt Alert!

Got this shirt over Xmas holiday, and had to wait until I got back to work AND for a Friday to post.

I recently procurred, from a shop in Tahoe City (Lake Tahoe, Calif), a really neat T-shirt.

I'll describe it here and provide an address and give a phone number for the shop. The CCC's will be camping (yeah right, at a cabin) about 3 miles from this shop and could be persuaded to make a trip into town for purposes of procuring with the intent of crossing state lines!

On the back: Large frontal view drawing of a splittie with the small square pop up camper in the up position, with a bicycle, a pair of skiis, and a surfboard poking out from behind on the back rack. On the passenger side there appears to be a climbing rope and ice axe. Splittie is a very light brown, blacked out windows and headlights, with dark green bike frame and other details in maroon. Just a touch of the passenger side showing.

Text arranged in a circle around the bus are the words:

Every time the wheel goes around, you're bound to cover a little more ground

On the front: The same drawing, but smaller in the left pocket area (no pocket), with the words below it reading:

ROAD TRIP . . . `97 Lake Tahoe

Available in white or light grey on ONEITA 100% cotton preshrunk. I paid $17 for it. Well $16.95 plus tax actually.

I've scanned the shirt, but have no place to post it to the net for you to see. Any volunteers? Back image is BIG, while front pocket image may be more managable and shows the same drawing. Just let me know what format you need.

It appeared to be of local manufacture, as the 'Lake Tahoe' lettering matched the rest too well for one of those generic 'Wish you were here in <insert town here>' T-shirts, so may not be available elsewhere. No indication on the shirt of the artist or maker.

The clerk I bought it from is a bug person (her's has survived 2 avalanches!)
