A mechanic kitty walks to each car and motorcycle, starts the engine and
checks it's performance, checks the fluids and lights, and makes sure
each vehicle is road-worthy.
As the mechanic kitty checks all the vehicles a dozen wait-cats wearing
white serving coats carry racks of serving trays from the back of a
fleet of caterer's trucks to the RV and to the semi.
A distinguished girlcat with long silver fur climbs onto the top of the
RV.]
Good evening, kitties! Welcome to the RPCC summer adventure. As you can
see we have more than enough cars and motorcycles for everykitty. We
have all sorts of wonderful foods and drinks in the RV and in the semi,
so please help yourself to snacks.
We also have helmets, gloves, leathers, and other safety equipment for
any kitties who want them. They are available in the back of the
semi-truck.
So, kitties, why don't you all pick out the vehicles you'd like, get
together any safety equipment you'd like, and we can think about getting
under way.
Of course we're not in a big hurry to leave, so if any of you would like
to play on the beach you've got time to do so. Enjoy, everybody!
[Cleo climbs down from the RV and starts looking around.]
TV, mine love, I think we have everything packed in the silver Caddy,
don't we? Did you bring your magic backpack?
Cleo
can i stay in the rv with the fudz? i will also eat local fudz like
pismo beach clams and oregon salmons. even sasquatches in washington!
beauty
ps i am a gourmay.
You sure can! We've got room for a lot of kitties in the RV.
Cleo
A twinkle away from the beach announces that someone is porting in.
Quickly, three lady-kitties appear, followed by a large black Lab d*g
carrying a basket for them. He wags happily to the assembled kitties,
exchanges skritches and pettin with his frenz and ports back home.
Each of the ladies is wearing a sun-bonnet and carrying a small
package. The basket follows them on wheels.
Maggie May, a luffly older grey-splotched Himalayan, immediately seeks
out Cleo. Her daugher Missy, slender and youthful but otherwise a
carbon copy of her mom follows. With no hoomins around she is relaxed
and friendly. A large and sweet-faced domestic medium hair, also grey
with splotches follows her friends shyly. Her eyes are wide with
wonder at so many friendly kitties.
Maggie May: We are heeer frinz.

Hello, kitties! And hello, Scooter! Welcome.
Let's see, Piglet, you and Scooter wanted a motorcycle, didn't you? If
so, I've got a bright red Indian right here with the controls adjusted
to be doggie size. And OT and WIllow, did you want to ride in the RV? Or
did you decide you'd rather ride a motorcycle or a car?
Cleo
Hello, ladies! Welcome to everyone. And I assume this is WooToo?
How about this nice silver convertible? It's got a nice, big engine but
it's easy to drive (since it's got kitty-sized controls), and it has
sleeping cushions and litter boxes and a refrigerator and a microwave
for snacks. And of course a full assortment of CDs for the stereo.

Hello, Gramby. Our itinerary is very fluid, and our travel schedule
especially so, but in general I think our plan is this:
We will start in far southern Catifurnia, at the US border with Mexico.
We'll then ride on our motorcycles and in our cars and the RV up to Los
Angeles where we will visit the houses of Pit2nya and the other LA
kitties, then up to San Furrancisco, through Northern Catifurnia, into
Oregon and up to Portland, then into Washington, through Vancouver then
up through Tacatma, Kent, and Seattle, then up to the Catnadian border.
We'll probably make a side trip to into British Columbia to see Beauty's
house then we'll teleport all of the kittites and vehicles to far
northern Maine, at the US-Catnda border.
From there we'll ride south through the southern states. We'll make a
slight detour so we can say hi to Mme. Anais' hoomin in Mew Jersey, then
continue south until we reach Furlorida. We;ll visit the Hemingway
kitties, then we'll finish up at the soutehrn-most point of Key West.

The bird does see the wave, and takes to the air a moment before it breaks
and rolls up on the beach. Ranger springs after the bird, but doesn't take
to the air until a small fraction of a second before the wave hits him. He
disappears into the wave and reappears a short time later, several feet
higher on the beach, soaking wet.]
Whee! Doze waddermonsters is fun! I wanna do dat again. Any offur kittens
want to do dat wif me? Is dat what da humans calls "body surfing"?
Ranger
I'm going to sit this one out because that area makes me think of
visiting my closest friend, who was killed there by a drunk driver.
(East County, actually, for those who know the area.)
Louise doesn't want to go on this one because she has heard too many
stories of cats around there (east county again) getting eaten by
coyotes -- both Biscuit (RB 1995) and Triskie (RB 2005), who belonged to
my friend.

[The parking area is filled with the roar of motorcycle and car engines
starting, diesel engines cranking over, and the wild meows of kitties
and kittens excited to be leaving on a road trip. The bright California
sun glares off the ocean, but the since the kitties are headed initially
to the east if doesn't bother them.
Cleo's Cadillac takes the lead, followed by Tiger and Anais on
motorcycle, Lewi astride his Victory Vegas 8-Ball, the Countess with her
kitty companions, Jocko and Big Mama in Jocko's Woody, with the rest of
the Community kitties following behind. At the rear of the pack are the
large RV with Tabitha at the wheel and the semi carrying their supplies.
The pack heads east on Monument Road, on to Dairy Mart Road, and finally
on to Interstate 5 northbound.
As the pack rides north, Cleo occasionally picks up the microphone
connected to the inter-vehicle radio system.]
Kitties, if you all take a look off to the left you can see some of the
ships belonging to the US Navy Pacific Fleet. A lot of the ships are
based here in San Diego.
[They continue north, passing through San Diego. ]
The jets that are approaching from our right, headed out towards the
sea, are fighter planes from the Naval Air Station at Miramar. Miramar
is just off to our right a couple of miles. That's the base that's home
to the Navy's Top Gun pilot school.
And off to our left, all that green area is Torrey Pines State Reserve.
[The kitties are all greatly enjoying the feel of the wind through their
fur, the smell of the sea, and the warmth of the sun. Every few minutes
wild shouts of joyful meows can be heard from various vehicles.]
Oh look, kitties, off to the left! That's Camp Pendleton, a big Marine
base, and those big boat-thingies must be the LCAC's the Marines use.
And over there, just a little ways past the Marine base, is the San
Onofre nuclear power plant. The silly humans still have to use nuclear
fusion. They haven't yet mastered nuclear fission like we have.
Ok, here's the Immigration Service Inspection Station. Everybody, close
up into a nice, close pack. These humans are going to be a little bit
shocked when they see us.
[The pack of cars and motorcycles pulls up to the inspection station. A
Border Patrol agent waves Cleo's car forward while looking down at his
clipboard. As the car pulls up even with his station, he asks "US
citizens?" Cleo moews "Of course!". The agent, being a mere human,
hear's the moew but can't understand the content. He finally looks up,
figuring someone is playing games with him. When he catches sight of a
tiny kittygirl driving a car, with no humans visible, he is shocked into
inaction. He just stands, staring, saying nothing.
Cleo meows "All the vehicles in this caravan are operated by citizens of
the nation of Catmerica and Catnada, and since we are felines we are
beyond your regulations. Thank you not delaying us". With that Cleo
drives through the inspection station, waving the other vehicles to
follow her without stopping. As the cars and motorcycles roar through
the station, all of the Border Patrol agents on duty turn to stare
open-mouthed. A few minutes after the escort semi has passed through the
agent who had closely observed Cleo yells across to the agent at the
next station "We didn't really just see that, did we?". His fellow agent
replies "No way, we couldn't have. We've been in the sun too long."
Shortly afterwards, the station commander can be emerging from the
Inspection Station central office with a video cassette in his hands. He
takes it to the nearest steel trash can, pulls the tape out, and sets
fire to it.]
Oh, look, it's Pacific Coast Highway! Everykitty, let's get off the
freeway and take the coast road.
[As the kitties get in to Laguna Beach they see that the local artists
are capitalizing on the excellent weather - all along the highway and
the beach walk are artist's easels and tables with handcrafts. The
kitties slow and admire the art works while cruising past. One of the
caravan's cars of cycles will occasionally park, the kitties dismount
and look at some the artworks more closely, then rejoin the procession.
The humans admiring the artworks, though, also notice the caravan.
Within just a couple minutes of entering town the beach-goers are
standing along the street gawking at the sight of cats driving cars and
motorcycles. Tabitha has to lay on the RV's horn several times to move
humans who have wandered into the streets to watch. The large grey tabby
driving the semi has to make use of his air horn several times as well.
The kitties finally make it through Laguna Beach and wind along Highway
1, marveling at the beautiful vistas and the refreshing air.
It is but a matter of minutes until the pass through Corona del Mar.
Cleo and TV lead the procession through the heart of Corona del Mar to
the ferry terminal. The Balboa ferry requires 5 trips to get all of the
vehicles across to the Balboa Peninsula, and on each trip the Captain
and the deck hands stare in amazement at the feline drivers. When all of
the vehicles have crossed they again drive slowly along the coast road,
admiring the beach vistas.
By the time they reach the northern end of Santa Monica the kitties are
beginning to be dazzled by the ocean views and the traffic, now quite a
bit heavier than when they started.]
Ok, kitties, we're reached Los Angeles. What do you all say we stop here
for the day, maybe have a picnic by the Santa Monica Pier, and see what
there is to see? Pit2nya, don't you live not too far from here? What
other kitties live in the Los Angeles area? Maybe we could take a spin
by your houses, if you wouldn't mind?
TV, my big handsome wink, what would you say to a nice, romantic lobster
dinner?

[With the wind blowing through their fur, Tiger accelerates the Fat
Boy to catch up with Cleo, as the kitties form a tight pack]

How would everykitty feel about visiting Pit2nya's house and meeting her
hoomin, then spending the night on one of the Pasadena kittie's bedrooms?
