Squeaky Wheel Adventures As I have mentioned, I am always humbled when individuals choose to support our program. This was no less true on Friday when a tour bus passenger from a trip I was driving gave SWA a $250 donation and the offer of a place to stay if we are ever in Spokane, WA. Thank you....Bryan
Squeaky Wheel Adventures Quick update..The bus' engine should be out next week to get rebuilt and is estimated to be back on the road by October 1st.

. From Caregivers - 2009 I Think it helped her be around kids her own age....I like all of it. Kids are lucky to have this fine activity to do. I think they may not realize it now but it will become one of their favorite memories of summer as they get older...I would definitely send a kid again. ...
Squeaky Wheel Adventures Yes, that is correct. We occasionally use paddle power. It burns a few calories and gets some great laughs both in the bus and from onlookers. There are few places I think that you can get entertainment like this. - Bryan

Squeaky Wheel Adventures Day 1 of NH's 3-day trip another good one. The hike to Arethusa Falls continues to be a favorite activity. The weather is good, the crew is great and Mt. Washington tomorrow.
