Ok, we are on the road, (where I am most at home 
). It has taken a couple days to get settled. Now, I'll try to get a thread going to keep you guys updated on our progress. We started in Santa Fe where Adam and the team canvassed the Farmers Market. While there we registered our first new republican of the journey 
A good beginning. We drove north and stopped in 2 small towns, (including the incumbents small hometown) where we set up the RV, talked to a few folk, signed up some volunteers, got a spontaneous donation, and lots of smiles... (The ukulele might help for the drive bys - hehe) We stayed overnight in Espanola where it was pretty quiet.
Yesterday we drove north to the small town of Abiquiu, where we had a meeting set up with a General Store owner. Bob was a democrat but openminded and made some phone calls to his friends to come down and meet Adam. We stayed a couple hours and Adam met with 15 to 20 people while I stayed outside and manned the rig.
By the time we had left we had signed up 5 former Dems as new Republicans. We are finding out that most people here are registered dem but vote republican due to machine politics...
Continuing north we drove to the town we are in "Chama", set up roadside, where Adam started redoing the simple window dressing until a GOP exec came down to talk and give us contacts and a local newspaper owner came down to interview us, etc.
It is morning now and Adam is out talking to some Elk hunters who are dressing their take. About to head into Chama proper and canvass some businesses, then off to Dulce...
I'm going to try to get Adam to record a short vid to recap the journey so far. Things are going well for this, our first "shakedown cruise" As alaways we need to ask for donations, in this case for fuel/etc. costs, so I've set up a chip-in for $500. Fuel should be about half that, but every penny will be put to good use. Help if you can, whether by donating, or posting the chip-in around

Oh, and Adam says Aloha
PS, donations of $20.10 to the chip-in will also enter you in the raffle below
