Mmm, Apple Pie
We’ve secretly replaced Doug’s Apple Pie<tm> filling with Apple Cinnamon Hammer Gel<tm> … let’s see if he can tell the difference. Jeff: “Did you like them?” Doug: (sheepishly) “I did”.
Doug rolled into the parking lot here in the Pratt, KS McDonalds — owned and operated by Jolan and Steve Strecker, who open up their business serving free food to RAAM racers and crew every year! — about 30 minutes ago. He’s filled up on Coke<tm>, an Egg McMuffin<tm> and our special dessert. He’s resting now in the van … rest quick, Doug, because Lowen just pulled in now!
Team CCI Tweets- teamcci: The crew has parted ways and is off on their own separate adventures. Doug is on his way home with his family. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING TO ALL! Friday, 20 June, 2008
- teamcci: Just about done with this amazing experience! I know that the hard work and sleep deprivation was worth it! Thursday, 19 June, 2008
- teamcci: Last Day. Matt hasn't showered since Kansas. GO DOUG! Thursday, 19 June, 2008

Way to go Doug… Halfway home!!! I can’t stop checking in to see how you’re doing; I view all the stats constantly and it looks like you’re at an incredible pace. Maybe I can video you going past the Eisenhower farm in Gettysburg next week and maybe I can follow you in to Annapolis. Keep safe and keep healthy… Steve Fisher, AFS

Doug,
Halfway in and you look better then you do most days at work and I don’t see any brown spots 
….
You sir are the man!!!!! Hoover Dam I like the new look
Well at this point you can only be thinking one thing…Oh, Sugar Honey Ice Tea!
Be safe and keep your eye on the prize as it’s time you lived out your dream…. But also keep a eye out for the dreaded Foosa..
In the end you are gonna face extreme peril. The private probably won’t survive!!! But you will because you are a winner !!!!
Good luck and god speed !!!! Can’t wait to see you when you get back …Heck Rocco on me

Me thinks the web master/mistress is also a little loopy! If Doug ends up in Mississippi, he’ll be a little off track. MO is for Missouri. Which time station does Doug have to reach and by what time in order to continue riding onto Annapolis? TEAM LEVY RACING CREW keep up good job!! lynne
