QFT!

Seems like the occasional GRM escort on the freeway would help keep their spirits up!

And posted videos here would just be that much more epic!

This is awesome. Toyman is from South Carolina, might want to fix that.

ROADKILL episode is what I was thinking.

If it was Roadkill, the bus would have burst into flames 100 miles down the road and that would have been the end of it.

We shall not speak of Roadkill then! We have a long way to go still.

In the early days of this thread, I had considered a separate "wagering" thread.
Of course, it seemed "defeatist" to actually bet against y'all and unmotivating in general.

Now seems like an okay time to actually admit that once you entered IL, you exceeded my personal wager.

Go Toyman, Go!

Doesnt have one but our portable battery does. So I guess that puts us ahead.

The tracker shows now south of Corbin, KY this means "the big test", Jellico Mountain, is soon.
Also prep the band and the followers in Knoxville, could be there in as little as 1 hour (maybe more.)

You know it pisses me off, because I checked before I typed it and still typed North. Oh well.

Jellico mountain conquered at 35 mph! Temp never crossed 200 degrees. All seems good.

Considering that you are in a 1956 Bus, I suspect the banjo players will see you as "one of their own."

Yup. They are driving Kentucky /Tennessee camouflage. No one there will even notice (my experience is all in the Appalachian backwoods of those states. If other parts are different, sorry)
