I just checked in on him again. He looks to be in the area north of Omaha. He's headed more north now. I look again in a little bit if I can find time.
{ It seems he did have to back track right after getting his beach water in Rye yes at the very start! ...the atm wouldn't spit out a receipt, so he had to go find a gas station. Then a crazy women was flying by him and prevented him from making his exit, but he thought that back-tracking a little was the safer bet! }
By the time he got to Illinois, he had is average speed up to about 68MPH. And that was just before 10 last night. I don't know the exact time of the start. But from the info I have, I think the official start was approximately Monday, noon time EST! After the first 10 hours on the road he reported that he felt great. I don't have an update this morning though.
