I think it’s fascinating that I’m not the only blogger on this trip. There are several of us and you ought to check them out. Here’s a list of them which you can find on the AASHTO website.
Nebraska Ethanol Board
I got some support here in Omaha from the Nebraska Ethanol Board. Administrator, Todd Sneller came out in the Governor’s E85 Avalanche.
Omaha Press Conference
To our pleasant surprise today, the Governor of Nebraska attended our press conference here in Omaha. Right now I’m in the parking lot of the QWest Center where we have a traffic mobility showcase taking place. The Ethanol Truck is on display here with materials to hand out to the public.
Follow The Leader
It has been a long day on the interstate. I have some more to post for you but it’s too late at this point. This picture shows how we follow the leader in the convoy. The truck I’m driving is in the reflection of the truck in front of me.
Interstate Perspectives Symposium
After arriving at Cheyenne, WY the interstate convoy attended an evening symposium called, “Interstate Perspectives.” We heard from highway historians and people who have worked on building the highways.
Blogging Ethanol
There are a lot of cameras floating around on this trip and you have no idea when someone’s going to take your picture. This is an ethanol blogger in action.
Windmill Farm
Cruising along I-80 today I came across a form of renewable energy sitting on a hilltop. These windmills are just huge.
Starting Out In Salt Lake City
We got started bright and early this morning in Salt Lake City. We made a short trip to a local park to wait for Governor Huntsman to meet us.
Onward To Wyoming Tomorrow
We had a beautiful view at our dinner location here Sunday evening in Salt Lake City.
Operation Interdependence Dinner
On our last evening here in Salt Lake City a group of us from the convoy were hosted at a private home up on a mountainside overlooking the city for a very relaxing dinner. We started out though putting mailing labels on boxes that are being sent overseas to our troops via Operation Interdependence.
