Good seeing you guys there. Got home at 11:30PM. 774 miles on the return trip. After talking to Bill and Mike, I think next year the covoy will be broken up into two, one early, and one late. The early convoy will leave Monday the 8th at night. My friends and I left my house at 8pm and made it to Fontana (754 miles from my house) in 9 hours....not an ounce of traffic, empty roads, mega speed!
What about the police?

Something I learned over the years....once you get out of a major city the towns don't really have too many units on highways. The few cops out are patrolling the streets and highway troopers are a financial organization. They put them out where they do the most damage, during the day. There just arent enough cars on the road to warrant a major police presence in the middle of the night in smalltown USA, and thus, there is MINIMAL police. I did not see a trooper after I reached MD on 81.

I broke my top speed record. 144 old, 145 new

Did it on that long downhill section on 26...sick road. We now call it the USA Autobahn
My favorite stretch of the whole caravan for sure. Mikey said he got stopped on the way back, but it turned out well.
