Roswell here we come

Posted by in 2012 Season at May 13, 2012

Long Drive from Louisiana to New Mexico last night. We are hoping from some nice visible storms today,will have to be on on our game, as poor road networks and intermittent Internet signal will make it more challenging to be in good position than a more chase friendly territory like Kansas.

Waiting for the storms to pop in Roswell, NM passing time by researching UFO conspiracies…

Eventful First Day

Posted by in 2012 Season at May 05, 2012

Even though today wasnt the greatest day for chasing it was finally time to leave and get down to the States. We left at 5:30am EST from Georgina Ont. with the goal of reaching Southern Indiana.

Despite our sensible goals, a litney of highway obsticales blocked our path including;  a flooded Interstate 69 in Michigan, a overturned Semi that closed Interstate 74, and several other construction zones and rush hour traffic that combined for approximatly 3 hours of lost driving time.

In the end we reached Moline, IL and we are bunking here for the night before departing for North East Nebraska first thing in the morning. After driving some 1500kms in 17hrs, the Trailblazer is holding up well so far, however we discovered that the fuel gauge has ceased to function smoothly at least and we are now relying on the trip counter to ensure we are not left stranded (again) with no fuel on the side of the Highway but that is a story for another day.
