| Magrin took the wheel and decided to drive throughout the night. He like the quiteness of the darkened skies, highlighted by the moon. Â He would concoct stories in his mind based on the suggestions of the sillouetted landscape, like the shadow puppet theater he remembered seeing as a young boy. Â His fantasies disapated with the rising of the morning sun and he then realized that they were driving into an unfamiliar land. Â According to the instruments, this was supposed to be Hoboken, New Jersey, but it sure didn't look like that to him.

wrong destination but what the heck
The land opened up into a beautiful valley, cupped in the hands of green mountains lush with a dazzling array of rich foliage. Â He parked the bus on a ridge and everyone climbed out to see what all the fuss was about. Â They lined up along an embankment and looked silently down into the valley. Â In the mind of each was a silent scenario connected with this place and without a word spoken, it was agreed by everyone that this was it! Â The dawn spoke of a new day, and hearts listened. Â The bus edged down the hill into the valley, then in unison everyone sang out...."LET'S DO IT!!!" Â The green valley smiled and greeted them warmly.
