Hey McAir,
We haven't designated when Pee Wee will speak, but I think he can make that choice. It may depend on if we have entertainment at the rally, and it would likely be the night that he isn't speaking. Of course...he could speak both nights, and knowing Mr. Wee, he is always available to answer questions when asked.
Doing some more research, I think that turning around at Fort Defiance would be a good idea. There is a big loop, it is a historic site, and could provide for an excellent photo op.
In the spirit of the 59 Caravan, I thought it would be nostalgic to have a military security element. Pee Wee told me about armed escorts along rough parts of the over 14,000 mile journey.
I contacted the Army National Guard armory located in Cairo, IL and spoke with the facility manager. The sergeant who just happens to be the same rank as myself was very receptive to leading us through Cairo with his HMMVW or (Humvee) down to Fort Defiance, and back out of Cairo. I thanked the good sergeant, and will keep his information on speed dial for when our plans are more in place.
Steve
