2014 Anticipation

Starting to get ready for RAAM.  Well, actually preparing for the BBC's annual double century, which I always schedule a few days before RAAM.  This year's double will  be Judah-Springville-Williams-Shoals-French Lick - Birdseye - St Meinrad - Santa Claus - Dale - Otwell - Montgomery - Odon - Springville -
Judah.

I'm a little worried about our time station location.  I've tried to get an okay from the amigo's at Casa Brava Restaurant for us to take one parking space that is the farthest away from their place, but I haven't gotten any word from them.  I think there is some language barrier.  I don't think there'll be a problem.  I had to move it 50 yards as I don't work at CVS anymore, but this new location will enable the RV's plenty of room in CVS and O'Malia's parking area.  We'll have to steal some electricity at night from the CVS parking lot, too.  Hopefully, there won't be any problems.  We'll make sure to point all the hungry crews toward Casa Brava, CVS, and O'Malia's.

I have no idea who are the favorites, but I'm sure it is Christoff Strauser, winner the past 2 years, and the RAAM record holder.  Last year's weather was rather favorable to the racers and he was close to breaking the 7:00:00:00 barrier.

See you out there!
