I am lucky to have the opportunity of a lifetime.  Two weeks of travel across the United States with some really great individuals.  My function will be "Support and Motorhome driver" for the riders of http://www.ridefor9-11.org/

I get to drive two "legs" of the trip.  I will be driving from Oklahoma City to St. Louis for my first leg.  We will be passing through Joplin Mo during this leg.  I have many summer time memories of Joplin Mo from when I was young.  My mom grew up there and I still have some family there.  It will be sad to see the devastation from the recent tornado.

The second leg of the trip will be from Pittsburgh to New York City.  We will be arriving in NYC on September 9th,  just in time for the "Ten Year Anniversary of 9-11".  Many friends and coworkers will already be in NYC when we pull in.

This is the sweet, support vehicle that Jorge picked up the other day.  Sleeps 6-8 people.  We will be towing a trailer with the official Ride for 9-11 logo and the American Flag.  It is currently being "skinned" by a neighbor of mine.
