Is there an official schedule posted for the group events related to the rally? I wouldn't want to show up and miss out on something because I didn't know the secret handshake.

Prairie Berry Winery and Miner Brewing Co in Hill City is pretty cool. I worked at that winery one summer. If you're looking for another really pretty drive, Spearfish canyon in the northern hills is amazing. Also highly recommend climbing Black Elk, formerly Harney Peak. Hopefully going to make it this year. We got our Model 3 a few weeks too late last year to make it.

It's getting close to the wire for us. My car repair seems to be complete after 2 months in the shop. Still needs alignment done. We are planning to start driving early Wednesday morning.

We'll be heading to Madison, WI tomorrow, then Chamberlain, SD the following night. We'll cruise through the Badlands on Friday and plan on getting into Custer in the early afternoon.
The weather seems to be all over the place. Check it three days in a row and get three different forecasts ranging from rain to nothing to snow.

Calling it close to the wire!
Got my Tesla out of the Body Shop at 6pm today. Started packing for lift off at 5am tomorrow morning. Trying to make it to Rockford, IL Wednesday evening and Mitchell, SD Thursday evening.

There’s a 30 degree drop in temperature coming which you can more safely bank on. Even today, one of the nicer days this week, the Billings, MT news mentioned imminent hail in Custer. I’ll probably pack a blanket in case there’s no easy shelter.

Did a road trip from Washington state to Iowa, and now we're in the black hills until the rally.
Stopped in Wall today and did recon on Supercharger status. (Not done yet but under construction)

Geez everyone is so much closer than I. But I will not make it until Saturday so I guess that's what I should expect. I am all packed and I leave in the AM. I'll have to figure out that glympse product by then so I can be on the map. Fun.
Thanks for the weather report. I am bringing a jacket, guess I won't use the shorts.

Have a great trip. The Glympse map is pretty neat. We’ll be getting back on the road in an hour or so. Next stop: Madison, WI.
I'll cave and share my trip with the Glympse map but it would be more fun if it could show the breadcrumb trail of how you drove to the event rather than just the current moment in time or what it thinks is your direct route since many of us are probably zigzagging to try and pick up missing locations. See you there !

Thanks for sharing on Glympse. Our paths have overlapped for quite a while, so far. It’s nice to have Parkersburg, WV open for avoiding the interstate.
The car has been charging so quickly that we aren’t never waiting for it to finish charging... it’s always the dog, food or something else. The 150 kW update rocks!
There was a good bit of construction south of Washington, PA so I took US 40 all the way down to the Ohio River to avoid most of the congestion and then WV Rt 2 South along the river and visited my childhood house in New Martinsville, WV. I hopped over to OH Rt 7 until the bridge at St Mary's, WV and then back on WV Rt 2 to Parkersburg.
I was probably on the interstate for no more than 30 miles of the 160 mile trip but I had a blast on some of the country roads I grew up riding on.
Columbus, Cincy, Indy, STL, KC are up next and I'm hoping to avoid the major traffic in most of those.
