Thursday - My master plan to rent a van for the trip failed at the final moment, so I ended up driving my Honda Civic the 600+ miles to Indianapolis with 5 souls on board. Andrew, Julie Christopher, Gillian and Siri Maley made the trip with me. I drove, departing the Eagle ACME parking lot about 8:30 AM.
We kept up a lively conversation throughout the trip, mostly concerning team organization for 2012, training plans and expectations. Siri kept notes, so our musings were not lost and forgotten.
We made our first stop for lunch at Quaker Steak & Lube in Wheeling WV, the geometric centerpoint of our drive (within a few feet). America's best Hot Wings, curley straws & motorcycles hanging from the ceiling! What more could you ask for? Refueled immediately after lunch and moved on.
Didn't stop again until we reached our hotel ~20:30. Faith & Foster rolled is a little later. We joined Faith's group for a very nice dinner at Applebee's.
Friday - Carly was sick for the day, leaving us with no option but to use IRI to train a new driver. Unfortunately, due to our loss of home and the cancellation of PARC and BR2, we have had no driving practice since St. Louis.

Sunday - After lunch at Olive Garden,
