Bloody hell where do I start? I have just had one of the best weeks
ever. I got to travel in the rally
van. I traveled through 5 or 6
states. Can’t really say for sure
because I never really knew where I was, arriving at the check point in
Austin.
I can’t say thank you enough to everyone in
the Van. John Pedrow for his ongoing,
rolling commentary about different roads,
sites and different things all along the way. It was very interesting and I kind of
understand how all the highways and interstates work. Although I think you should watch the road
more than the old tractors and cars sitting in paddocks along the road. But thank you for getting me back to Minnesota
in one piece. And I now have a new respect for the rumple strips on the
road.
Bart,
your rolling commentary throughout leg one on all the riders and the
routes they were taking was so amusing.
I do hope that at least one of those riders went the way you thought
they should go.
David, I am going to miss you answering the phone…
“hello , hello, hello,hello,hello. Damn phones.
Lisa, who sat in the very back of the van so
that I didn’t get car sick.
I got to see some of the bonus stops and
collect points for the rally van. Some
fabulous places and views. Things that I
would never get to see otherwise.
The team took me to see the memorial for
the Oklahoma bombing site. I cannot
convey how that felt to see all those chairs lined up for the people who
died.
I think my favorite stop was the bowling
museum. Watching the guys bowl in their
'stitch, out of the their stitch, mmm that one not a great look but very funny.
Some can bowl. Some definitely
can not. Then Lisa and I - Australia
versus America. I believe Lisa’s words
were. “I am going to whoop this Aussies
butt”. Not going to happen. Lisa 41
Colleen 47.
