Live from the road,

Today we'll offically hit Route 66 with the caravan, and go from Chicago to St. Louis.

9:44am CT: the game plan is for lisa to take the first driving shift, then if we get out onto a more laid back road/area, J can take over driving and i'll try some creative web cam solutions that we've discussed. unless J decides to try them while i'm driving! either way, we'll try and work something out today, if we can.

5:51pm CT: Turned out to be a great day! over aa dozen bugs in the caravan, Historic Route 66 is a very laid back and peaceful road. Much nicer than the interstate.

Lots of stops, highlights included a giant man holding a hot dog (see pictures once i upload them) and the Cozy Dog Drive-In, home of the corndog.

J took over driving after our late lunch and i was able to get the webcam running on his computer! the software i'm using now doesn't handle archiving the way i want, so i'll have to upload an archive at the end of the night, or the trip, unfortunately-- but the live cam should work ok as long as we are, in fact, live.

we're on the interstate now so we can get to the hotel at a decent hour, hopefully we can have a beer tonight and relax and maybe upload some photos.

Strangely enough, I never noticed that the big guy in Atlanta was holding a hot dog. I got out of the car, stood underneath him while Steph took a photo, and got back in the car. I did notice that he had blue pants, though.
