We survived the night!!


First stop = Albert Lea - to pick up our extra driver and use restrooms.
Ben Ernhart must have been sleeping hard before the stop -- on the way out -- he saw a Minnesota sweatshirt and made the comment, "Dang.  We are still in Minnesota?!"  Seventeen hours might be long...


Next stop =  Waterloo, Iowa for a quick bathroom stop.  Chatted with Matthew Remer -- he hadn't really slept yet - cuz he was in an aisle seat.  He had just asked Joe Otto if he could rest on Joe's shoulder the next part of the trip... Best to just break those barriers early, buddy.

And currently -- it is 9am -- and we are in Hannibal, Missouri. 
Hannibal is the home of Mark Twain. 
And a Hardee's food stop.  :)

Cheers!
