We awoke a bit bleary-eyed after a long day and less than five hours sleep. We had stopped in Clinton New Jersey, well away from city traffic as we started Day 3.

Tom promised us "Much calamity" and all we have on day three is a mushy brake pedal and endorsements for Macs tie-downs and Carl Heideman.

I don't know, we'll see, we have a pretty high standard for "drama!"

Those of you who eschew the book of faces is really missing out here.
