Stopping for fuel...

Thanks for the comments! When we're able to connect, we can actually see them *from the car.* Did I mention how cool this is? Lisa is amazing and I bow to her vastly superior knowledge of all this stuff.

We are just past Knoxville, and we were running the cam on the hood pointing to the driver's side. (You can see the windshield wipers in different positions when it's raining!) The connection went down at 1:58 pm when we went into the mountains. The front cam (Willie), when pointing forwards, was getting a lot of interference from the rain. The back cam (Jack) is in need of a little focus.

We are alone right now, and the Eastern caravan called us a couple of hours ago. They are at least two hours behind, and since we were due to arrive in Nashville to stay the night at 8 pm and before dinner anyway, we decided to go on past the meeting point, as waiting 2 hours wouldn't be interesting or fun for you or us. We would like to see some other Beetles soon.

Watch the site this evening, as we'll try to post live coverage of the Eastern caravan arriving in Nashville. We are closer than we thought, so this may happen anytime from 8:45 to 10:15 pm or so Eastern time.

The Web cams are holding up in the rain pretty well even though the condoms keep breaking.
