Hello everyone! It's Ari Cohen and Ozzie Freedom writing from "the road".
What an adventure we are on!
We left on Monday morning, slightly behind schedule and met up with "Walking Eagle" and many of his friends in Bakersfield at a local pizza place. After showing the new system to the crowd and talking to passersby, we had pizza and continued on our way to Fresno, CA.
In Fresno, we were welcomed by the crew of CBS, channel 47. Katie, the news reporter and her sidekick cameraman, Matt filmed me (Ari) showing the new system and the "old" 12-pack system in the trunk. It was a great interview and the team at CBS is excited to see others with this technology. They want to convert their whole fleet! We left with the camera filming our drive off into the sunset...
After what seemed like a full day of driving, we were exhausted. We found shelter in a small town in northern CA and rested for a few hours before making our way to Portland, Oregon. Portland, by the way, is my home town! We arrived in Oregon City, OR at 6:30pm Tuesday--just enough time to print off a copy of our e-books and some fliers.
After meeting up with Rich Preston, Rob Juliano and about 75 others, we had a great event at the local Milwaukee High School. The questions flew at me like a barrage of arrows, but I used my Water-Ninja skills to help everyone there gain a deeper understanding into our mission.At the end of that event, almost the entire crowd stayed until 11pm to ask more questions, see the now-famous Jetta with its dual-hydro systems and we had a blast. The locals will definitely be starting up as members and promoting this technology to the masses of the great northwest!
Wednesday: This was fun....after having lunch with my long-time-friend, Clint at a local Baja Fresh, we jumped in the Jetta and drove straight through to Reno, Nevada! Whew...what a beautiful drive. I only wish you guys could have been there. The air was so fresh and cool and the lakes, trees and mountains reminded me of my youth.After many hours of driving into the night, we arrived in Reno, NV, "The Biggest Little City in The World". Not....quite....beautiful Oregon, but busy nonetheless. We've basically spent the day working with our programmer on the new website, handling admin and setting up for tonight's event with SierraH20.
We'll write again tomorrow after the big even at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino (no gambling, please!).
Signing off for the day: Ari Cohen
