    THERE'S NO WATER IN THE WHOLE COUNTY?!?! I hope they've got enough alcohol.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Just a thought, would you be interested in skipping the motel and driving straight through on Thurs.? I will be wide awake all night anyway. I can drive one car. My parents live down there, and I've made this trip 20 times. It's a pretty easy straight through ride.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    I know I won't be capable of staying awake through the night after working all day let alone being in any shape to ride on Friday. But, there might be other night owls out there...
    I wanna ride!

    That would also mean we'd have to reserve the cabins Thursday night. We could probably make it work, but it would put us there well after midnight. I think Ive talked most PAMBA peeps into leaving Thursday night driving half way, crashing at a cheap dive somewhere near the Rolla Mo area Thursday night, and picking up the final 3 hrs or so Friday morning. That would still give us plenty of ride time Friday afternoon.

    Might be a good idea to print this out and bring it with you:

    At the 37 second mark of that video is where I cared for a man until the paramedics showed up that was having a seizure in his vehicle and his wife didn't know what to do.
    Ya didn't see me do it. Ya can't prove it!
