We are in Lincoln NE. It has been quite a day. Bill had a nice run. We showed up a little late down at the Haymarket District in Lincoln. There was one guy who actually showed up and was waiting for us. Jay and the Trihybride Stealth Car had a problem early on in the day but showed up tonight with Stephen and I at the Hotel outside Lincoln.

Jays car is still under development, and you could consider this the sea trials. Dave in the Hudson Stinger turned back. He rode along for a bit this morning , but had other commitments in Michigan. Tomorrow we head across the plains to Colby Kansas. One day closer to the finish.

Bill is couch surfing tonight and had the car parked out front of the home he is staying in. A neighbor named Jerry has been following the blog. I guess he was a little surprised to see Dirigo parked across from his house.

I just spoke with Jack who is covering plenty of his own miles and will be meeting us shortly to finish the Rally.

It has been a lot of fun today. Peoples reactions to Dirigo are great.
