    The trip up wasn't too bad:

    block speed: 66 mph
    MPG: 50.2
    temp: 70 F, no rain until 30 minutes out of Lexington, ~15 mph side or tail winds
    note: using 2,400 rpm limit, impressive hills on I-75 between Knoxville and Lexington

    The trip back wasn't so nice:

    block speed: ~60-65 mph (didn't keep times)
    MPG: 47.8 (includes running around Lexington and Georgtown in the cold and rain)
    temp: 40 F, rain, drizzle, 20 mph head winds for 70 miles
    note: partially followed 2,400 rpm limit (went cruise control lazy a couple of times)

    I like your moon caps. Were those made from pizza pans? How do you hold them to the wheels?

    Opps! Fixed. BTW, I mentioned to the photographer that he might take some photos of the cars in the parking lot. I have no idea if he followed up.

    Thanks. I got them from Hubcap Mike. I got the 15in screw on type since they were on sale and the pop on type does not work with the stock Prius wheels. More information can be found on my topic here Racing Hubcaps

    I forgot to mention that my odometer rolled over ( I guess since its digital I should say it lit up ) to 10000 miles when I entered Georgetown. :D

    Where is our group photo that guy promised to send to you? :(

    Thanks about the hubcaps. As for the photo, I'll give the visitor center a call on Monday and see what's up.

    Hi folks,

    I've posted a web page with a group photo. However, I didn't get all of the names matched to the faces. If folks will PM with corrections, I'll update the page:

    Thanks again for all who made it that cold and wet day.
