    Drove that to get to Orlando. We hit traffic in JAX and ORL. The entire stretch of 95 in GA is a speed trap, so watch your speed.

    I was thinking of doing my normal 1am departure time. Don't seem to catch a lot of traffic then.

    On long road trips, I sometimes run the Waze app for the social alerts about police.

    KFJ is washing and braiding. But do we want a meet? I'll leave out in the early hours. Time is growing short. You more southerners need to remember we have been on the road a bit.

    So it looks like Rick and I will be meeting in SC just outside of Orangeburg where 95 and 26 meet. It takes both us about 3.5 hours to get there. How long will it take you guys to get there from where you guys are at?

    Ok. Rick and I should leave around 5 to 530. And now that I remembered that you are bringing the Sequoia, I may have to bring the Expedition.

    Why in the hell am I in caravan to MiataPalooza among a group of people haulers?



    (Homer moment:

    I'm going to a place to see a bunch of Miati.
    I like my Miata because it is fun to drive. And it gets attention.

    Hey gang pile into the SUV and we can travel in the HOV lanes down. Yee Haw!

    I think someone has chlorinated the Miati pool.

    Whoops! That was out loud.)
