This a favorite on Adventure Bus tours. People love it for its unique ingredients like hominy and cactus. We usually serve it on our Grand Canyon and the Wild West tour at Grand Canyon or Lake Powell. When guests return on a different trip, we are always prepared to make it, as we know they will demand it!

Happy Thanksgiving!


We would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. The Adventure Bus Crew is thankful for all the wonderful folks we have met over the years. We are especially thankful to those who join us year after year on new adventures and who trust and support our endeavors. We are truly blessed to be able to meet such wonderful people from all over the world, and love that our Adventure Bus Family continues to grow!

This year in particular, we were able to visit many of you while out on the road. Over 20 of you invited us into your homes, fed us and showed us your local sites in Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, and more! In home after home we got to see just how much their travels on Adventure Bus meant to them. Everywhere we went we saw walls and refrigerators covered with magnets, photos, and posters of the national parks they explored and friends they had met while on a tour with us. What a great feeling!

It has also been great to hear the tales of how other folks have gotten together for weekend camping tours and mini reunion trips! We've put together a photo gallery to capture some of these reunions. Check it out:

AB Reunion Gallery
If you've been a part of an AB reunion, tell us about it and send a photo! We would love to know!

Once again, Thank you all for choosing to travel with us and becoming part of the Adventure Bus Family!
Gobble Gobble!
Take care, and we hope to see YOU on the Adventure Bus
