As a service to BBC members, Bill Drummond is leading a series of out-of-state and out-of-country trips.

The 2008 trips are: the Hill Country and Big Bend, Texas (April); comprehensive Alaska again (early summer); and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Jasper, Alberta to Prince Rupert, British Columbia (later summer). Also in 2008 is a new trip in June to southern Indiana.
