August Update

Good news! 41 vehicles have committed to the coast-to-coast route - 131 vehicles total.

Fuel – Flying J Gas Stations

No Flying J gas stations on the route until we get to Gary, Indiana. Flying J stations in Omaha, North Platte, Cheyenne, Rawlins, Rock Springs, Evanston,
Salt Lake City, Lodi - 10 Flying J fuel stops. Hope to secure fuel discount from Flying J.

Lodging

Need to know how many campsites are needed. KOA will not sponsor or support the Convoy. Best Westerns in lots of the towns.

Sponsors

Will add Convoy sponsors to the Web site – we encourage sponsors to use their Convoy sponsorship to their benefit.

Museums

We have a new Volunteer, Ken Swanson, to help here.

Spares & Repairs

Working on calling advertisers in Supply Line – gathering info to ask for sponsorships. 50% of the people called aren’t aware of the Convoy.

PR & Communication

Media contact list being developed - want media coverage along the route
Working with the Lincoln Highway Association to supply them with information for a brochure.

Donations

Once in a lifetime opportunity to participate - if you can’t go on the Convoy please consider making a donation to help the team. Donation packages sent to Flying J, veterans groups, American Truck Historical Society, Alameda Naval Museum, USS Hornet Museum and KOA.
