That is a nice route. I've got friends/family near both stops in Iowa, even. a full week is still a heck of a commitment, but it might be worth ducking down there for a day trip or something.

For a visualization.

Roughly 1400 miles and highly likely to route changes with the same stops. Best to print directions the day before.

Tickets aren't required to see the show or drive the route, they just let you park in the show and get some magnets. Also best to reserve a hotel room now.



It's fun because you can do things like this.

Doubt I'll be long hauling this year but we'll see what we can do. :)

Edit: Registered and made reservations for seven hotels in seven cities. Seems anywhere near the venues at Indy and Bowling Green were filling up fast.

The journey from Kansas City MO to Bowling Green KY through Newton IA, Davenport IA, Champaign IL, Madison IL and Indianapolis IN is over. This was my 2nd Long Haul in the Terminator swapped CE and it was a blast as usual. :D

I logged my fuel mileage and it ranged from a high of 18.26 mpg at mostly highway to a low of 14.22 mpg on the official route with the usual traffic. Door to door mileage was 2,753.4 miles. :wink:

As I unloaded the trunk of tools, including a floor jack and jack stands, I was blessed none were needed. The CE performed admirably without any issues contrasting with last year's struggle(s). :)

The Hot Rod crew managed to take a couple pics of the CE in an article on the Power Tour as part of their event coverage "90 Hot Rod Power Tour Hits of the 90's" (pics 58/59), complete with the bug encrusted front end and a charging cord "the navigator" left hanging out the passenger door, LOL. :cool-blue:

Looked like a great time, would love to be apart of the long haul gang.

Thanks for letting us follow along on that social media site.

I've got a load of pics to sort through and upload to my photo page. I'll post a link when I do. :wink2-green
