Having become closer and closer over the past year, I decided I was going to ask my friend and co-worker Celena if she would crew with me. She agreed without hesitation--one of the many traits I love about her!
We decided to try to get a coveted sweep van assignment, and we did!
Sweep van crews work in teams of two driving a commercial van up and down the route each and every day, all day, to pick up any walkers that need/want to be transported to the next pit stop. Too tired? Too sore? Need a break? Take a sweep van.
Although it's a lot of work, it's also a lot of fun, because you get to theme out your van and have fun with it! There is, for example, a couple that always does a hippie van...they dress in tie dye and play 60s music...it's great! Last year there was also a Pirates of the Caribbean van and an Airline themed van, among others.
Brainstorming for a theme, Celena came up with RESCUE HOOTERS, a plumbing theme. We aren't sure what we're going to do for costumes and decorations yet, but here is our logo:
My dad even had patches made for us in Thailand!
I'll keep you posted as we get closer to November!
