Red Cliffs Lodge Moab
We just shared a wonderful mountain style dinner along the river.
This place is so beautiful, images don't do it justice.

Whitewater Rafting in Moab
Had a blast today. Rolled from Denver to Moab and went Whitewater rafting near the Red Cliffs Lodge. It was a good time, and a much needed relaxing time enjoying a place rather than blazing through it. We found out that there are 300+ cops, helicopters and airplanes patrolling the area we are going through tomorrow, due to a biker rally. Apparently it's huge, and there was a murder and a lot of fights and shenanigans last year surrounding it. Anyone who didn't get a ticket yet on this rally is probably going to get one tomorrow.

Motorsports Park Hastings, Nebraska
Today we were at this rad track called Motorsports Park Hastings they're building these rad party house condos right on the track these guys just got together and decided to build the place... it was so fun! After dinner they took us on Drunk Bus rides
on the track they took this school bus and gutted it out and bolted like couches and stuff in the back put everyone on board and then drove crazy. Country entertainment you couldn't buy in the city!!!
We had a blast. The people here are so nice and they treated us to a phenominal dinner of Omaha Steaks, corn on the cobb, this great potato and onion dish and home made coleslaw salad.

Status Update
The rally is going well. It's been a lot of work but we're starting to see everyone making friends and start to loosen up and really have a good time. This is Day 7 for Jason and I... Getting a little bit tired. Day 7 of getting 5 hours of sleep, driving all day... Dodging cops, coordinating hotels, printed materials, badges, restaurants, videoing, running the blog www.verveakarally.com and this blog you're reading.

Every time we drive by a fireworks store I point out the fact that
fireworks would be really fun on the rally

Another Cross
God Speaking, "So what I want you do to is spend a lot of money and build a giant aluminum siding cross along the freeway" It must have been God speaking, because he asked someone to do it just another 45 miles away.

Mullets
Stopped off for some eats in Tulsa. WOW. This was the most glorious mullet I've personally ever seen, but the photo doesn't show the full glory.
Off to a good start
Our transit goal is to make it to the other side of St Louis today. A little bit of rain, but the clouds looked worse than they delivered. The blogging process is going well, and the Slingshot is working great.
Made it to Albuquerque
Rolled into Alb. at about 1 a.m. Covered good mileage considering the time. Ready to sleep tho.
