Fernwood

We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous  drink sponsors, Fernwood Coffee. Caffeine is often the lifeblood of Desert Bus, and Fernwood has never let us down.

Fernwood Coffee has been a long time supporter of Desert Bus. For many years they have generously donated coffee and brewing equipment, ensuring that our crew can stay warm and caffeinated throughout the run.

Thank you, Fernwood Coffee, for your continued and very much appreciated support!

We’re just chilling over here at Desert Bus, not too much going on…

I LIED DONATIONS ARE OPEN!

Not only are donations open, but we’ve got a challenge from James. If we are able to raise a Desert Buck ($22,805) before the run starts, he’s buying us all Ice Cream!

Us at the venue, not all of you, that’d be difficult.

The run starts in less than a week, so get busy spreading the word of Desert Bus!

Hey everyone! Usually by now you start to see the Driver Schedule show up on the site for this years Desert Bus for Hope. However, this year we’re running things a little bit differently.

Rather than have the individual driver shifts clashing with the four shifts, we’ve decided to combine them! Now, each of the individual shifts will have a team dedicated to Driving, Co-Piloting and steering the shift (along with all the usual ridiculousness and other folks around).

Check out your Desert Bus for Hope Entertainment Squad (The EntTeam, not actually, nor are they living trees)

• James Turner
• Serge Yager
• Liz Smith (Partial Run)

• Jacob Burgess
• Carrie Floyd

Night Watch
