out of the rockies.

We're on our way to the desert. We only averaged 59 mph through the mountains and need to average 71.8 mph to hit our number for the next 9 hours.

Considering the tourist traffic, the road construction and the po-lice, 59 was pretty damned good from the starting checkpoint.

We'll be checking our progress every hour to see where we stand.

Stay tuned! And we definately still have a chance to win although we're talking an 80 yard drive with 30 seconds to go if I may mix a metaphor.

If only bill Walsh were still around to call plays.
