Google says you guys are about 24 hours away from Phoenix, so I guess you'll be at/near my place tomorrow morning (plus whatever time you spend off the road).

I think we're in pretty good shape so long as it's daylight. We're going to get some sleep somewhere around Tulsa most likely.

Back at it. Maxx driving.

Lost the time lapse last night at about 11pm, when i tried to get it back, the webcam is massively over exposed, nothing is getting it to balance. So removed it.

Saw a dead St Bernard or Bull Mastiff in the road in Indiana. Massive dog, very sad to see.

Was near a woman in an Intrepid for about 2 hours through Indiana and Illinois, never put down the phone, even when she went through an active speed trap at 83 in a 65.

i've driven most of the same route you are 4 or so times. Oklahoma is a good rest point. Texas--> New Mexico is a LOOOONNNNNGGGG **** drive

at the noodle billboard.

glad to hear you guys are doing well and making good time.
how close are you to being 'on schedule' per your initial estimates? (because knowing you, this trip is probably planned down to the minute. Okay, maybe not but I know you planned it hourly)

4hrs to tulsa, 21 to phoenix, which gives 7 hours of leeway/rest to meet our goal of BHR no later than 6pm.

Only an hour past halfway from providence to pheonix.

1378 miles to BHR
