So the journey has now ended and it was a wild and wonderful trip. The teams are resting in Omaha after spending two nights in Lebanon and one fine night in an 8 person cabin off Lovewell Lake.
We would like to thank every person who has helped this project along the way from the people who have helped from conception to those who helped each team along the way. We met a lot of amazing people through our travels who have turned from strangers to friends.
A lot of people have been asking who won. All I can tell you at this time is it was a really really close race. Over the upcoming months we will release a few riddles that will clue you in to who the winner was but until then I will let you know that two teams reached Lebanon within 45mins of each other. It was crazy.
Over the next couple of days we are going to be posting things we have learned from the trip, trip recaps, news from lebanon, and other fun things so stay posted!

...and then there were THREE
Hello :-D Leigh here (Kelly's sister) and I wanted to let everyone know that all three teams are in Lebanon!! They all made it in 6 days :-) It came right down to the wire people...but they are refusing to tell who the winner was, so we are going to have to wait...and wait...and wait.
Haha, but they are all having a blast in Lebanon with all of 220 citizens of the town.
Looks like there are amazing people from all over America willing to go above and beyond for complete strangers...what an unbelievable documentary this will be :-)
Hopefully we get another update soon!
xoxo

Driveway Diatribe: What the .......?
A conversation in Mrs. Stracke's driveway...

"How could those guys leave us?"
"Did that lady say they were in Wyoming?"
"No, my guy is somewhere called LSU."
"Well why didn't they just take us?"
"Jeez, we've got over 350,000 miles of experience between us."
"One of us would have had them in LaPaz by now, let alone Lebanon."
"What do you say we take our own road trip?"

Team Sebastian Update
After a great night of sleep in beds finally, two hot showers, and a wonderful seafood lunch with our new BFFs from LSU (sorry Mackenzie) team Sebastian has arrived in Shreveport, LA. It seems rides are getting harder and harder for us to get. We are developing a new strategy. Our morale is high and we are getting excited about being in Lebanon soon. Until next time, this is Rob and I'm out.
