From Southeast Michigan, we're looking at about a 4.5 hour drive I'll be leaving about noon on Thursday. About 264 miles.

1135 Miles for us 233 and 744. Our team starts driving up tomorrow. We decided to stay in a hotel in between the drive instead of dive all the way through like last year.

There i was. Driving down to the highly competitive Indiana Regional Invitational and I noticed a slight rumble in my stomach. As the cornfields rolled on so did the realization that there were no eaterys in this barren wastleland they call the crossroads of america. How thoroughly disappointing: i am severely underwhelmed by this lack planning by the IRI planning committee. We were forced to stop at the "golden" arches just to get a lackluster bite to eat, which was stale, greasy, and barely legal under FDA regulations. First sure has gone downhill in the last 5 years. I can't wait until they hold the championship in detroit.

I left Kokomo for Indianapolis at 4:00 am today, to drop off my mother at the Indianapolis airport. I am currently relaxing at the hotel after spending the afternoon helping to set up the pits (including the electrical distribution).

Ha. Electrical distribution for Indiana FTC is basically just bringing a couple hundred feet of extension cord and a power strip and finding an outlet.

I found a few teams driving down...
