400 miles, St. Louis to Tulsa checkpoint. It's 2:00 PM. Might be a hairy, nail-biting last few miles for those who are still in St. Louis area. Of course, we don't know what the exact lag time is on Spotwalla. And add to this, that riders might want to top off their tanks before getting into the...

Looks they're heading through Why, AZ, the iconic half of the Why-Whynot pairing that folks like to do for a cert ride. It's a good bet it's a combo bonus, since Whynot is in NC. As you say, they don't seem to stop so probably a quick photo which wouldn't even be a blip on the spotwalla track.

This just brought tears to my eyes....what an outstanding group!

Looks like going up through Canada is the more efficient way to get from Grand Portage to Voyageurs National Park in International Falls.

So darned cool, Jason!! Fun to watch the little Minion-like pins diverge and converge!

From the rally book: STLI Statue of Liberty National Monument Liberty Island New York, NY Coordinates: 40.6892 -74.0446 Daylight Hours Only 12 million immigrants passed through these now quiet halls from 1892 to 1954. Ellis Island afforded them the opportunity to attain the American dream for...

The riders have been admonished at both checkpoints to make sure they match the provided photos as closely as possible to ease the scoring process and remove any question or doubt of the validity of the claimed bonus. If the sample photo of Statue of Liberty National Monument was taken from...

This morning's IBR report says that Mark Starrett decided to throw in the towel and head for home yesterday morning. Perhaps the CA rider is him?

They're going to get the photo of the tunnel on that road that leads to the Rio Grande Village within the park. the bonus code is RIGR. Even though that bonus says "Alpine" the coordinates are actually on that road, halfway between Panther Junction VC and Rio Grande Village. Been there...

I'm having a hard time seeing what you're seeing Nancy...I can see all flags and read all numbers on those flags. Here's the photo posted by IBA Magazine: (I've circled the three couples who are riding 2-up and therefore have only one rally flag between the two of them)

Agreed, Jay. I don't see a link on her page either, but I did find a video at Ed otto's page.

Thanks Tim. I have been friends with Voni for many, many years, both on and off of FB. I think the issue was trying to share someone else's video from the FB onto this independent site. I did find Ed Otto's video, since I am also friends with him on FB as well.

"Liking" Iron Butt Magazine on FB isn't the answer apparently, since I "liked" and have been following that FB page for quite a long while.

This link doesn't work for me....is this posted on your own personal FB page? (where those of us not "friends" with you can't see it)

I see that. I'm about 5 miles from his current location and sun is out. He should be on the front edge of outbound rush hour traffic. Will be interesting to see where he's headed. Space shuttle at Johnson Space Center?? Bolivar Ferry??

That does look like a cool place to visit! I've never been into Erie itself...only whizzed past it on the interstate a few times.

The SPOT units are fairly accurate. Units left on while bikes parked in a parking lot will show a very tight scatter of tracking points. those using Google Lattitude, I've noticed, sometimes show up sitting in a field many yards away from a road, so I'm guessing that Lattitude is not as...

23 is also I-75, limited access interstate.

When I click on the Allens' scorecards, they both have 2959 points, yet on the rider standings chart they show 2524 points. If the scorecard results for leg 1 are correct, this would move them up to 40-41 place, a big advancement from their current 50-51 place.
