Michael moves from Sheeper to Quincy along with a promotion to "navigatore supremo" aka Nuevo Doug.
With guilt in our hearts we abandon T405 and the four us bomb off along hwy 160
towards Wichita where Doug will disembark from the minivan to catch a 6:50pm flight.
We stop in Minneola for victuals and some petrol
So with our gas on "F" and our bladders on "E" we jump back on the freeway for the remaining 150 miles to the airport.
After Doug hops on the plane and returns to a normal life we three "followers" will get a hotel room, with en suite spa and masseuse, and wait for Katya's plane to arrive from somewhere in the west at around midnight. Then we will try to sublet the hotel room before head out to find the team who, serendipitously, will be very near Wichita by now. Then, the game over, we will be back to our following role.

Peter- you're a Navigating, trip coordinating, photographing, blogging extroidinaire! And looks like sleep deprivation only makes you stronger ;) The RAAM website video is focusing on people hallucinating. I'm sure Team BF is having some of their own. I imagine Sheeper is still as optimistic as ever, now he's another guy that gets stronger w sleep deprivation and exhaustion! Take care if yourselves out there! Love these updates!

ReplyDeleteHey - was that a dirt road? And your petrol stop makes me wonder, at 19mph when you're follwoing, what kind of mileage are you getting?
