Had to step away for lunch, but nothing really interesting happening guys. They have been just rolling down the interstate nice and easy.

Caravan's taking a break at Exit 113 on 75N, looks like chilling outside of Lexington, getting ready to head west on 64 to Louisville. They are making great time!

Police report: So far haven't heard much activity related to the bears on this channel. There's been one siting but it was south bound, and another one at Exit 110.

Ok sounds like these Wednesday folks are about 10 miles from the hotel. To me it seems like they were mostly ok on the drive up, nothing crazy on the highway when it comes to smokeys and construction.

No problem. Sorry I couldn't get on till now. been a little busy with work, baby, military and school.

Glad everyone made it up there and back in one piece.

and I have to apologize to the Wed crew. On the way back, Camarokid and I were chatting on Zello cus I noticed we were passing everyone fairly easy. I asked him what his speedo was showing (as mine was at 10 over with the cruise on). and he tells me that we're really going 15 over...


So I apologize to you guys who followed us/me on the way up. I was going faster than what I thought I was. Guess I need to get the speedo recalibrated. at least now I have an excuse if I get pulled over

I enjoyed it. lol I think there's something different in the gas where we stopped to fill up. either that or the colder air or slower speeds or driving in the pounding rain gave me a water injection type of effect. I got about 12% better fuel economy driving after filling up there as opposed to driving the first leg down.

I'm just glad I had my bed box light to turn on so you could keep an eye on me without having to squint for miles.

I didn't notice anything about the gas, but I bet it had something to do with the SLIGHTLY slower speeds and cooler temps.

I was very pleased with my gas mileage. I was getting 24-25 MPG.

That box light helped out so much. I sure was squinting trying to find you cause you were leaving me in your dust....err road wash (for once )
