On the road with Sunsetters
We began on our 21-day journey at 2 am on Sunday morning when we left from our shop heading west in caravan with two 15-passenger vans and a truck and trailer (with the solar car). Our first destination was Kalamazoo, MI, which is the site of scrutineering and last-chance qualifying for the American Solar Challenge. The drive was largely uneventful until we hit Chicago traffic slowing us down and setting us back a couple hours, although we did pass solar car caravans from Iowa State, Missouri-Columbia, and Kansas State. We did roll into town with half an hour to spare for the 7:00 all-team meeting in Kalamazoo.
