I have a friend from high school whose dad, husband and another guy are on the road together to break their own world record. In 1997, they set the world record for driving through the 48 states using the least amount of fuel. In 99 they broke that record and set the record at 104 hours and 57 minutes. Since then, several people have attempted to beat them, but haven’t followed the rule correctly (and, if there was anything that drew this friend and I together it was because we were rule followers!…so, she is from good stock).
This week, the boys have set out to break their record once again, while following all the rules and make it something nearly impossible to reach!
I love it. I love the concept of a challenge and I love that they have set out something fun to do and accomplish together and stopped everything to do it (of course they have some good women behind them keeping things running while they are gone)..those are all the things WE at bigpittstop are committed to!
They are keeping a really fun blog going with pics and video of the progress so far.

And, if you live in the DFW area, they have been keeping close contact with the ABC affiliate WFAA. I think there have been some spots on the Early Show and this feature as they set out. And, this article ran in the Dallas Morning News Monday.
Think about it. What record would you want to break? And, what have you set out to do and not accomplished yet? Is it time to drop everything and mark something off your bucket list…you do have a bucket list don’t you?
You've known Jay Lowe was nuts for almost two decades…you do marry men like your dad :).
