SAG Crew

Another group that deserves some serious recognition is the SAG crew. We had tremendous support during the ride, and without that support, we never could have done it. Hotels, meals, snacks, drinks, and bathroom breaks were all taken care of by this great group of friends and family.

Let's start with Diane:
This is Kyle's mom, and she was the boss. She handled everything. She even got Twinkies for us! Here's the rig she drove around:

This is Sean's dad: He and Elaine drove a big fifth wheel for the whole ride:

It was perfect for lunch stops and bathroom breaks:

Wally and Mary drove a smaller rig (and pulled a car with it):
They often drove drag, making sure all of the stragglers (like us) kept on going:

Spinner's parents, Dave and Karen, drove a van along with the group also. They were the "route checkers," often driving ahead and making sure the route was all set. Funny how an occasional Navy base gets dropped right in the middle of our planned route!

For about the first half of the ride, Rich and Lee drove a SAG van and toted all of our things to the different hotels:

They did a super job, waiting on us hand and foot. We almost felt guilty with all of the work they were doing, but they didn't seem to mind. Lee is one of the most well-behaved kids we've ever met. He hung out in the van most of the time playing on the computer or a video game.

Here's a rare shot of Tim (on the right):

He is a friend of Bart's and showed up around when Rich and Lee had to leave, so he took their place. He pulled Bart's camper around and hauled our bags in that:

Debbie was another great SAG driver for a few days, although we don't seem to have any good pictures of her.

A huge thanks to ALL of the SAG crew! We certainly couldn't have made it without all of you! Maybe the Speedy Boys could have, but not us!!!
