You wouldn't believe what you can ship by bus.  I found out last year
on the way home from a Greyhound round-trip from Columbus, Ohio to
Las Vegas where we rented a car and went to the Grand Canyon.

Near Vail, Colorado, the bus started losing power and our driver
knew it wouldn't make it over the pass to Denver.  So we stopped in
ultra-snippy ski-resort Vail, which wasn't glad to see our motley
crew of 45 refugees and made us move ourselves from their ski museum
to a frontage road well out of sight.

Eight hours later a replacement bus arrived from Denver, but there
was freight to be transferred.  A freight-transfer brigade was quickly
impressed from the male passengers, and we moved everything, including
the entire front of what someone said was a Toyota SUV.  I don't know
how much that thing weighed, but I'd bet there are few parts of a player
piano that couldn't travel by bus!

(I wrote about the adventure for the Vail Daily newspaper, and they
liked it.)
