    This has got to be the biggest cheering section that little container has ever had.

    Sitting at the hotel in Buenos Aires trying to get our container released. May possibly be able to get it tonight at 8pm our time, 5pm your time in KC. The RV is still on a ship in the water. Looks like maybe the 3rd on the when it will be on land. We are in the process of renting another vehicle to transport people until the RV can catch up if possible. There is still hope. I love and miss my wife and son, wish he was feeling better!


    crossed fingers for all three boys getting their bikes and support truck tonight!

    I'm not superstitious or anything, but I'm drinking a glass of Layer Cake Wine and wearing my Neduro shirt, and crossing my fingers on getting that container unloaded in time and the bike prepped for scrutineering and making the start, all the while hoping you get the knots in your stomach untied enough to keep a meal down. :thumb

    Ned and Co,
    Here's to you and your effort going smoothly from here on out!:clap
    This is the exact reason why any Joe-Smo does not enter this event.
    Just this one act of logistical nightmare, would render most to thier knee's sobbing uncontrollably.
    Ned and Co. seem to be taking it like any other obstical in the road, and wheeling over/thru it.
    If it was easy, everybody would be doing it. :clap
    Sending more good vibes...................

    You're not the only one!

    We're killing time at a bar with wifi now, soon we go to the warehouse and only then will I really breathe a sigh of relief. I've been trying not to get excited or upset, just stay on equilibrium, but I'm really frickin ready to get on with it.
