Continental Kings and the Next Generation

With population sizes rapidly picking up as we head into the east we have been forced to develop new camping strategies. Wal-mart has been our latest discovery, providing oversized parking areas with well trimed fenced in grass, wal-mart is a good place to camp in towns big enough to have one.

Over the weekend we were lucky enough to meet up with my uncle, Marcello. We quickley adopted the method of motor-pacing, as the winds have picked up in the open farm lands of Illinois. Being a former cyclist himself, Marcello was used to riding behind the car, not driving. The highlight of the weekend came that night after we checked into the hotel room. Being a Chicago native, March knows how to eat, and he brought us itallian beef from Portillos. It was quite the treat and we passed the night drinking beer and reminiscing about our trip thus far and some of March's experiences on the track. Luckely he went over some of his horific crashes from motor-pacing after we were safely in the hotel.
