My route - http://mapq.st/yqvfXa

Stopping in Kalamazoo overnight after 10 hours on road. Gonna do the last six hours Friday morning. Plan to be @ Ted's by 1300.

Looks like I go right by Hammond. Send me your addy. I leave at 0600 so it should be early afternoon.

Yep. As long as we don't end up at the hospital for heat exhaustion.
I should be hitting the road early Friday morning.

Damnit I wish I was able to make it. My brother in law decided this weekend was a good one to MOVE. Guess my goal will have to be a complete baseline before I make it to an event. I have to at least make it to RTT13...unless it falls too close to my wedding. Have fun guys. I can't wait to see the photos!

I'm wondering if AliJonny hopped into Duke's Tiger and they rode off towards Canada all giddy like Thelma & Louise.

A big thanks to Ali as I thought I had some bad plugs that he ordered ricky-tick and had delivered. Was not plugs, I believe I have a blown power valve. No worries, O'Reillys had a new one here in Kalamazoo. Once I have some moor beer, will pull the carb and field strip it on the curb.

Ali is also a great guy....if the car was not so full of beer and other stuff, he could have fit.

BTW, I saw the iX and it is the real deal. I had to buy Ali lunch.

Dad left here just after sunrise. He's headed west to Syracuse, then north, crossing the border at Ogdensburg, making a stop on the northeast approach to Toronto, before getting to Mississauga. I just hope he (or someone on his behalf) remembers to post in this thread once he's at Tedfest.

You guys making the trip cannot wait to see the rig he's got with him. Not what you're expecting. Definitely has the right badge, and a BMW driveline to boot.

At the Admiral Inn....they put me on the smoking floor, cant believe they even have one. Waiting to be moved to a non-smoking room. All my beer got through the border! The Tiger is doing some weird shit. Hours on the road always does that.

The V6 Ranger ix has arrived. Photos to come - the uploader doesn't appear to be iOS friendly. On his first Kokanee.
