Rafael Giraldo departed Weston, Florida in a Ford Explorer rental vehicle at 7:00 a.m. this morning. Manifest Destiny [his HPV] and trailer are therein. His target for today is the Virginia State Line. I suggested Emporia, VA as a place to overnight.
I plan to pick up a rental cargo van at 4:45 p.m. today and leave early tomorrow morning. I plan to link with Rafael in Emporia and we convoy from there to Bar Harbor, Maine.
We both want to end Saturday in Bar Harbor. He is to shoot a special sunrise video Sunday Morning.
There you have it.

Indeed it is. I’m just returning from picking up my rental van: 4:47 p.m. I’ll test load in a bit. Thanks Dennis for the well wishes. –jim
oh thank goodness. The suspense has been awful
. Wishing you both the best during your journey. Am looking forward to all the videos, pictures and stories. The bike looks amazing all put together. Everyone did a fantastic job! Now get out there and ride man. This is what you’ve been waiting for. Hugs….Michele
Thanks Michele! I’m ready to get going, as well. –jim
The van is loaded and the quad and trailer fit. Whew…
[tape measures work]
Measure once and cut twice I always say… No, wait a minute. I guess you didn’t want to do any cutting. Glad it all fit! What is your estimated departure time tomorrow?

Approximately 3:00 a.m. relative to the time Rafael wants to depart his overnight. We are looking to connect/sync with him. I’ll have pics up within the hour. –jim
I just spoke with Rafael. He is nearing Florence, South Carolina and now targets Lumberton, North Carolina to overnight. He has asked me to go ahead of him. That being the case, I’ll still plan for a 3:00 a.m. departure. As to lodging and HPV security in Bar Harbor, should I get there first, I can do leg work. Northward movement continues. –jim
He is in Lumberton and has called it a night.
Safe travelling tomorrow! I’ll be watching SPOT.
Zeke
Glad you found me!
