	The tour directors are looking for sag wagon drivers for the
	TOSRV-East weekend.  In return for driving a sag wagon from
	Rawsonville to Waterbury Center (or Rochester) and staffing a
	checkpoint, you receive a free weekend in Vermont which includes
	transportation costs, an overnight on Saturday at either a B&B
	(Rochester) or a hostel (Waterbury Center), dinner Saturday
	evening, and breakfast Sunday morning.  Friday night, there is
	"rustic" lodging provided (bring your sleeping bag) where camping
	is optional.

	Sign up early and get the Rochester, Vt. spot at the B&B with
    	gourmet meals and refresh in the river nearby.

	Perhaps you'd rather go all the way to Waterbury Center, where
	Ben & Jerry's headquarters is located.  Also on the longer
    	ride are good views of beautiful Camel's Hump, pretty Glen Falls,
    	and quaint Warren Village with one of the best bakeries in Vermont.

	Optionally, you may wish to bicycle half or part of the way.
	If you have a partner, you two can share the sagging and each
	get to bike part of the way.  With this option, each of you
	pay half the standard cost of TOSRV, $25 or $28, depending
	on whether you're staying at the hostel (cheaper) or the B&B.
