Mehul-

I think you should follow my lead here and self-appoint as the Raj of DRSS!!
We have a zoo here in Oakland, if you make it through this part of the state first, and we have a Northern Territory annointment with your exotic cocktails, then head out to the zoo --
We'd have a caravan of elephant in no time.

Then a trip down to the southern end of the state could be done in the upmost of style!
As there is little risk of wildcat attack while en route, we can collect some beautiful women in vibrant colored outfits to accompany us in the Howdas on the way. We'll be able to afford the distraction while on the trail.
