5:09 a.m. When I woke up just before 5:00, the guys were already on the road. After spending the night in an "old" place with no wifi (Ken had said he would upload the videos he took yesterday) but it did have AC and beds - which, I am assuming was their biggest criteria for a room! No pictures/videos today; however, hopefully I will get some tonight and get them embedded here.
As for today, they are once again heading south and should be in Las Vegas within a few hours (does Vegas have a rush hour?). They should hit the Mexican border in plenty of time to make their 5:15 p.m. deadline today. More as it comes in - praying for nice weather for today.
6:45 a.m. Ken sent a text simply saying they were just over 100 miles from Vegas. Less than 2 hours (probably a little over an hour) and they will be arriving in "sin city". LOL....they will probably get fuel and be on their merry way!! More as I get it. Have a great day.
7:15 As of right now, 10 hours and counting!
9:15 a.m. Ken called from North Vegas and I talked to him as they started through town. They have less than 300 miles to (294 from Vegas toYuma) and 8 hours to drive it. No worries there. We are having a few issues current sending and receiving texts from one another - as he sent me a photo of their breakfast spot (my fav Dunkin' Donuts!!) which I have yet to receive and the text message I sent with the gas stops and other information won't send (or so it says!). Isn't the electronic age just amazing!? They will be using State Hwy 95 from just outside of Henderson all the way. And they only ran into rain once this morning and it wasn't bad but Ken said he could tell that they have had a ton of rain recently! Can we say flash floods!? Thanks for the prayers - they are helping. Until the next update.
11:00 a.m. They have arrived in Needles, CA and will stop to get fuel and hopefully drink lots of water. 184 miles to go and 6 hours to do it in. Woohoo! They are going to make it!! I never had any doubt! Did you?
Yes, Cindy, there is a rush hour in Vegas! Much busier than Cleveland, which we really don't care about anymore since we are in Ft. Myers, FL! Sounds like they are in great shape ... prayers and hopes for 'clear sailing' abound!
ReplyDeleteNeedles ... Oh my ... another hot spot. I hadn't thought much about the heat. They probably need more water than fuel! Motor on, Knights of the Road!
