Thanx Mike

Read the whole adventure up to today and only in Illinois, a long ways to go and already a couple minor breakdowns, A gutsy couple guys there but what a father son story.

 

Looks like an awesome adventure. Thanks, I'll follow this one while watching the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.

 

The guy picked it up just to the west of me about ten miles. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen the bus. Allentown is a very small town, not much there.

 

I scanned through all 18 pages. Sounds like he's in Indiana right now. They apparently had the oil pressure gauge line rupture and lost all of their oil. Apparently he fixed that and is moving on. They have a GPS pinger on the bus where you can follow along.

 

He drove that thing right smack through the middle of downtown Chicago. Wow.

Wow. They stopped in Lafayette, Indiana about dusk tonight. I automatically assumed he was done for the day. I just checked that thing again, and they've made it down to Louisville. Wow!! This guy certainly has determination.

 

I figured it was your blog.

 

At least they're in warmer weather now.

 

If the hills between Lexington and London on I-75 don't get him, Jellico Mountain down in Tennessee will be very tough.

 

He was running almost 60mph south of Indy.

 

Hey Doc, are you going out to see him "fly by?"

 

He is rolling again, east bound on I 64.

 

Wow...this guy must be very enamored with that bus to go that far to buy it and then drive it that far to get it home in the middle of winter. I have done some crazy stuff over the years but I think that I would have passed on this one. Good luck to him and his family.
