What a long 5 years its been since the 40th in MI.

Well I'm finally ready to hit the road and tomorrow morning the wife and I will be heading out. The rain mother nature is going to give me is not the send off I had hoped for but it will definately test my weather stripping.

I plan to hit Alburn Hills MI on Friday the 10th around afternoon time. Between now and then I have just over 2700 miles to cover and a few friends to meet up with along the way.

I have created a blog site and hope to be able to update it along the way at night when I stop for the evening.

Look forward to seeing the power tour guys at CEMA. Be sure you introduce yourself.

Now you've started it.  :rofl:  I'll take a little keepsake from Mt. Rushmore. Last time I was there I was 10 and heading for summer vacation with the Grandparents in Minneapolis.

We are tearing up the roads. Since we left a day earlier to beat a storm in CA we are going to be cruising through Tuesday afternoon.

See you tomorrow at the grill GPULLER
Sorry about messing up your day off.

Wife will probably get a full day to shop at the Mall of America.

Are you staying the night near the Mall of America?
What time will you be at the MOA?

Sounds like you made it to the cities OK.  Was hearing of roads buckling in the Twin Cities from the heat.  Hopefully you steered clear of them and kept the Charger in one piece.
Was good to meet and visit with you and Marie yesterday.  Anytime your in Minnesota again call.
Thanks again for the souvenirs, the kids were fighting over the baseball!

We saw one piece of road pushed up and a local transportation truck had it coned off to close that lane of the freeway.

In CA its not uncommon to have the road buckle due to severe heat
