So, this is my first attempt at any certificate, so naturally, I am starting with a SS1K. I plan to hit the road tomorrow by 11:30 am and 12:00 pm CDT. Obviously once I get rolling tomorrow, I won't be posting in here until the trip is finished.
In the event anyone wants to follow my progress in real-ish time (if it will show it in the middle of a trip)…
