Before the Trip!

FINAL PREPARATIONS: Before the Trip! 

T'was the night before sendoff, we cleaned all through the vans, every staffer was busy, even organizing the pots and pans. The sandwiches made with care, we rallied at Grant's place so we could prepare. With the vans ready to go, (and a new surprise vehicle you don't know), we ran to Wally World for the essentials, anticipating all of our meal potentials. We sorted through heaps of gear and many papers with great cheer. The staff could not be more delighted, we hope you all are super excited. 

Happy TWB Eve to all, and to all a good night! 

See you bright and early tomorrow!!

Staff Weekend

TWB STAFF WEEKEND 2025!!!

A few weeks ago, the entire 2025 TWB staff gathered at the Deaton house to get a peak behind the curtain and prepare for our trip out west! We pitched a tent, learned more about our roles, shared a delicious home-cooked baked spaghetti, made by the one and only Kitch (Grant's wife), and reminisced about our own trips. We learned the ins and outs of traveling out west and bonded over our love of TWB. We are so pumped to take you all out on this amazing adventure! 

You may know them, you're gonna love them, meet your TRIP 1 crew!!!
