The toll booth lady was humming the theme to Sanford and son as we pulled up. So we have now dubbed the bus Sanford.

You are Internet legend!

I also hear that when you get home to Goose Creek, the Mayor has planned a rally where you will be given the key to the city and a metal of bravery.

Or, that's how I think these things should work.

The definition of adventur: Reading about someone else having a real hard time somewhere other than where you are.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how many miles they've managed in the first day already.

Sounds like great progress. I have not been able to get Spot to work on my HTC, big thanks to those listing the play by play. It makes it easier to follow along.

Alright time for an update. Traffic has been great mainly because there is nothing on this road. The bus has a little wander steer going on but not bad. The ride is kind of surprisingly not bad, and the seats are not killing me.

Temp is running at 180 and 45 psi on oil. We are going to run till tired but not to tired. You need to be 100% when driving. We will update soon. Dad will probably post some pics and words tonight.

Sorry I missed most of today but sounds like not to bad so far. I expected much more adventure. So I'm assuming a two day trip back home?
