Some rental companies have transponders that register if you are exceeding the speed limit by one MPH your rate goes up. Hope they read the fine print. I was thinking it almost was to be a van, maybe with a stationary bicycle in back with a cot. Interesting to follow though, thank you for posting it with the link.

Great incentive to get it over with quickly

It's gonna be close...86 hours in...

Thirteen hours from Las Vegas to Kennewick WA, but they do not have to go to Kennewick. looks like they got it. That path gets them OR ID and WA.

Nice try and enjoyed following along. Another attempt in the future?

I haven't heard from him for a few days now (except through Twitter). He still has to drive the van back to Delaware.

I doubt there will be another attempt. They got funding for this.

With a little heads up they could possibly got a little support along the way.

They did have a few local news spots and a few radio shows.

Ryan was a presidential candidate in 2016 and garnered 749 votes, but I'm not sure that would communicate his popularity enough to get that much support.
