Dang, sorry to hear it, Bob. Thanks for the notice, though.
I haven't heard from AndyBees, so not expecting him, either.
Ken (JethroBodine) posted in his Bonneville thread last night:

First day down. 511.4 miles on the clock and over half tank showing. Been driving between 55-60, mostly, and two stops. One was necessary(couldn't reach the COFFEE!) and the other was bathroom. I'm currently just over the border in Ohio on I90 at the TA off exit 235. Nice place. There is a Freightliner Service point in the yard.
I only bought an hour of internet time, so I probably won't be able to answer any replies until I get to TC's.
I'll be leaving here early, and only have ~300 miles to go.

I was second to aecosine on the down hill start at zero to see how far down hill we could coast.

Looks like fun was had by all! This meet-up is sure worthy of a blog entry.
Any pics of the fleet all together?
