This morning I unthinkingly pitched the road atlas that got soaked when the car took on 2 feet of water. It wasn't until I was well away from the dumpster that I remembered that the double page map of North America at the start of the book was where I'd been highlighting all of the highways on which I'd driven. :/ Basically, if it's near the

You can't rescue it?

It was pretty water logged, and there was mold growing on other things, so all I'd want to do would be to take a picture of those pages at this point. Not sure when the dumpster is emptied, or what's gone in since, but I might give it a shot tomorrow morning. Probably not though. :) I had my fill of dumpster diving when I had to build a bike box out of discarded McDonald's cardboard boxes last month.

Related note: Let me know if you ever need to do that again. Conservation gets tons of big boxes and I can drag some down to you on a lunch break.

Thanks for the offer, but I hope to never have to do that again. :) It was an emergency, in that we had biked to the Springfield bus terminal and were told that they wouldn't put the bikes in the bus hold w/o boxes, but they'd thrown out the box that I'd left with them when I took the bus from Boston.
My eventual travel-with-bike goal is to get a folding one that can fit in a regular suitcase. :) I actually have enough saved up for one, I need to start test riding...

I thought that sounded strange. You normally seem so on top of things where traveling with your bike is concerned :)
