Rachel and Mike and the rest of the team arrived today. This week will be spent getting the car and support vehicles ready. The lead and chase cars need to be rigged with crazy lights, communication and signage. Annette and I are getting the camping gear sorted out and doing the last of the shopping as well as being "go-fers" for the team. Everything seems to take longer since we don't know the area or best place to shop. We are still having trouble with the truck.  After having it in the shop 3 times, we asked for a replacement. They agreed and we realized what a dog of a truck we'd been driving. Now we can drive with air conditioner ON and the heater OFF. Everyone's quite busy getting the last of the details worked out. Need to get the solar car ready to get some practice time on the roads. Drivers and support vehicles need as much time as can be squeezed out in the next few days. Long days, we stop just before the restaurants quit serving dinner. There are a lot of tourists and the bars are open but most of us are too tired to stay up late and besides, there's still work to do before dropping into bed.
