๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ ROUTE 66 RACE UPDATE: THE FINAL WEEKEND IS HERE! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ

Today brought our final Road Crew challenge โ€” Route 66 Bag Drop! ๐ŸŽฏ

And apparentlyโ€ฆ the cargo was NOT interested in being delivered. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The challenge proved tougher than expected and no team managed to score, so Race Headquarters awarded 5 miles to every team for showing up, taking their shot, and competing.

But then came a little surprise. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Throughout the entire month, we werenโ€™t only tracking who won each individual challenge. We were also watching how each Road Crew worked together โ€” who stepped up, how responsibilities were rotated, and how well each team involved its crew whenever they had the opportunity.

These teams have drawn, decoded, memorized, built, thrown, folded, created, competed, and fully committed to every ridiculous thing we threw at them this month. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So today, each team received a surprise Road Crew Teamwork Bonus worth up to 1,000 additional miles! ๐Ÿ†

And those bonus miles made a BIG difference.

๐Ÿš— TEAM CAR โ€” 4,190 MILES
๐Ÿ† +950 Teamwork Bonus Miles
Currently in 1st place, making their way between Catoosa and Galena on the trip back toward Chicago!

๐ŸšŒ TEAM BUS โ€” 3,080 MILES
๐Ÿ† +975 Teamwork Bonus Miles
Currently in 2nd place, just outside Flagstaff!

๐Ÿ›ธ TEAM UFO โ€” 2,631 MILES
๐Ÿ† +925 Teamwork Bonus Miles
Currently in 3rd place, between Rialto and Barstow!

๐Ÿš™ TEAM JEEP โ€” 2,448 MILES
๐Ÿ† +1,000 Teamwork Bonus Miles
Currently in 4th place and officially leaving Santa Monica for the trip home! ๐ŸŒŠ

Which means ALL FOUR TEAMS have now officially made it to the Santa Monica Pier and begun the return trip. ๐Ÿ™Œ

But this race is NOT over yet.

Weโ€™ll have our FINAL CHECK-IN Monday morning, when the Captainsโ€™ last miles are added and we find out exactly where every team finishes after a full month on Route 66.

One last weekend.

One last mileage update.

And thenโ€ฆ we crown our Route 66 champions. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿš˜๐Ÿง  ROUTE 66: LICENSE PLATE LOGIC RESULTS! ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿš˜

Yesterdayโ€™s challenge had our Road Crews staring down 15 coded license plates and trying to figure out what each one was actually saying.

Some were friendly.

Some required a second look.

And some probably had people questioning whether letters and numbers had always been this difficult. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Teams had 10 minutes to decode as many plates as possible, with points awarded for both accuracy and time remaining. They could also request an inspection along the way โ€” but Race Headquarters would only tell them how many answers were wrong, not which ones. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The results are in:

๐Ÿฅ‡ TEAM CAR โ€” 18.75/25
14 of 15 correct โ€ข 4:45 remaining
+4 Route 66 miles

๐Ÿฅˆ TEAM BUS โ€” 17.98/25
12 of 15 correct โ€ข 5:59 remaining
+3 Route 66 miles

๐Ÿฅ‰ TEAM UFO โ€” 16.92/25
13 of 15 correct โ€ข 3:55 remaining
+2 Route 66 miles

4๏ธโƒฃ TEAM JEEP โ€” 14.50/25
13 of 15 correct โ€ข 1:30 remaining
+1 Route 66 mile

Car takes the win with the strongest combination of speed AND accuracy, while Bus apparently decided there was absolutely no reason to use all 10 minutes. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Another challenge down, and the Road Crews keep rolling toward the finish! ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ

๐ŸŽฉ WACKY WEDNESDAY: CRAZY HAT DAY! ๐ŸŽฉ

Apparently, today at Par Logistics, thinking caps were mandatory. Normal hats were not. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Our team showed up in everything from barnyard couture ๐Ÿ„ and summer bucket hats โ˜€๏ธ to flowers, fur, camo, and whatever botanical situation is happening in the middle. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ

Some went subtle.

Some went stylish.

Some clearly heard โ€œCrazy Hat Dayโ€ and took it as a personal challenge. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just another Wednesday proving that around here, we can handle freight AND questionable headwear. ๐Ÿš›๐ŸŽฉ

๐Ÿ‘‡ Which one gets your vote for Favorite Hat in the lineup?

๐Ÿš—โœ๏ธ ROUTE 66: BACKSEAT DRIVER DRAWING RESULTS! โœ๏ธ๐Ÿš—

For this challenge, each team sent in a Driver (aka the Artist) and a Backseat Driver (the Describer).

The Backseat Driver got to see the original Route 66 scene and had to describe it without naming the objects, while the Driver had to recreate the picture based only on those verbal directions.

No pointing, no gestures, no peeking โ€” just communication, interpretation, and a whole lot of โ€œwaitโ€ฆ what shape do you mean?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Teams were scored on how accurately their final drawing matched the reference, with bonus points for finishing early and deductions for rule violations.

The final results:

๐Ÿฅ‡ TEAM JEEP โ€” 85.8 points
๐Ÿฅˆ TEAM CAR โ€” 83.0 points
๐Ÿฅ‰ TEAM BUS โ€” 74.0 points
4๏ธโƒฃ TEAM UFO โ€” 70.4 points

This one was VERY close at the top, with Jeep edging out Car by less than 3 points!

Some drawings were impressively accurate.

Some wereโ€ฆ technically in the same artistic universe. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Either way, everyone survived the Backseat Driver experience, and another Route 66 challenge is officially in the books!

Great job, Road Crews! ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ ROUTE 66 โ€” MONDAY RACE UPDATE! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ

Another week is underway, the odometers have been updated, and at this point our teams are spread ALL OVER Route 66. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hereโ€™s where the race stands:

๐Ÿฅ‡ ๐Ÿš— TEAM CAR โ€” 3,133 MILES
Team Car has officially made it all the way to Santa Monica, turned around, and started the trip HOME! ๐Ÿ”„ Theyโ€™re heading east through Arizona and are just about to reach Winslow.

๐Ÿฅˆ ๐ŸšŒ TEAM BUS โ€” 2,038 MILES
Bus has made it past Oatman and is now heading toward Needles, California โ€” getting very close to crossing into California!

๐Ÿฅ‰ ๐Ÿ›ธ TEAM UFO โ€” 1,613 MILES
UFO is cruising through New Mexico between Grants and Gallup, and theyโ€™re getting very close to Gallup.

๐Ÿš™ TEAM JEEP โ€” 1,343 MILES
Jeep has made it past Tucumcari and is working its way toward Albuquerque.

To put this race into perspective:

๐Ÿš— Car is already on the return trip
๐ŸšŒ Bus is approaching California
๐Ÿ›ธ UFO is crossing New Mexico
๐Ÿš™ Jeep is making its way west through New Mexico

And we are not done yet. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

There are still more Road Crew challenges, more Captain miles, and plenty of opportunities for those odometers to climb before this Route 66 race comes to an end.

Keep moving, Road Crews โ€” the race is far from over! ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿš—๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ›ธ๐Ÿš™๐Ÿ’จ

๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ ROUTE 66: ROAD TRIP RADIO RESULTS! ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŽถ

Todayโ€™s Road Crews pulled into Race Headquarters for a 15-song music challenge featuring a mix of road-trip classics, millennial favorites, and a few songs designed to make everyone question whether theyโ€™ve ever actually listened to the radio. ๐Ÿ˜‚

For each song, teams could earn:

๐ŸŽต 1 point for the song title
๐ŸŽค 1 point for the artist

30 points were up for grabs.

The playlist included everything from Life Is a Highway, Mr. Brightside and Lose Yourself to Take It Easy, Surfinโ€™ U.S.A., Shut Up and Drive, Californication, and Sweet Child Oโ€™ Mine.

And the final scores are:

๐Ÿฅ‡ TEAM BUS โ€” 22/30
๐Ÿฅˆ TEAM CAR โ€” 16/30
๐Ÿฅ‰ TEAM JEEP โ€” 13/30
๐Ÿ›ธ TEAM UFO โ€” 10/30

Congratulations to Team Bus for clearly having the strongest road-trip radio game today! ๐ŸšŒ๐ŸŽถ

There were some instant recognitions, some very confident wrong answers, and definitely a few moments of โ€œI KNOW THIS SONGโ€ฆ WHAT IS IT CALLED?!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Another Route 66 challenge is officially in the books โ€” and the race keeps rolling west! ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ

โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฆ ROUTE 66: PAPER AIR FREIGHT RESULTS! ๐Ÿ“ฆโœˆ๏ธ

Yesterdayโ€™s challenge sent our Road Crews airborne for Paper Air Freight!

Each participating Road Crew member folded their own paper airplane and got one official flight to earn points for their team. No practice throws, no do-overs โ€” once that plane left your hand, the shipment was officially in transit. ๐Ÿ˜‚

After all flights were completed, the final rankings were:

๐Ÿฅ‡ TEAM JEEP
๐Ÿฅˆ TEAM BUS
๐Ÿฅ‰ TEAM UFO
4๏ธโƒฃ TEAM CAR

Some freight flew beautifully.

Some freight took a moreโ€ฆ creative interpretation of air transportation. ๐Ÿ˜ฌโœˆ๏ธ

Either way, another Route 66 challenge is officially in the books!

Congratulations to Team Jeep on taking the top spot, and great job to everyone who stepped up to send their cargo flying. ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ

Next stop: more chances to move those odometers west! ๐Ÿš™๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ›ธ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

๐Ÿ’Œ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ ROUTE 66: POSTCARD FROM THE ROAD โ€” FINAL RESULTS! ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ’Œ

Our Road Crews spent the weekend sending postcards back to Race Headquarters from their latest Route 66 stops โ€” and these were easily some of the most creative entries weโ€™ve had so far. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Each postcard had to include location-specific artwork, a Route 66 shield, a complete hand-designed scene, and a message to Jim describing the teamโ€™s very questionable adventures on the road.

The postcards were judged on required elements, location connection, creativity, and the message, with Jim also ranking the fronts and messages without knowing which team created them.

With 35 Route 66 miles available, the final scores are:

๐Ÿฅ‡ TEAM BUS โ€” 32 miles
๐Ÿ“ Carthage, Missouri

๐Ÿฅˆ TEAM JEEP โ€” 31 miles
๐Ÿ“ St. Louis, Missouri

๐Ÿฅ‰ TEAM UFO โ€” 30 miles
๐Ÿ“ Lebanon, Missouri

๐Ÿš— TEAM CAR โ€” 26 miles
๐Ÿ“ Clinton, Oklahoma

Between running out of gas, roadside assistance, questionable wildlife encounters, emergency cash problems, fake travel advice, and some seriously impressive artwork, the Road Crews absolutely understood the assignment. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The postcards are now joining the Route 66 wall display so everyone can see the masterpieces that earned those miles.

Great job, Road Crews! The race continues west! ๐Ÿ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿš™๐Ÿ›ธ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ PAR POTLUCK DAY: We may have gone a little overboard. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Todayโ€™s office potluck did NOT disappoint โ€” apparently everyone understood the assignment and showed up hungry. ๐Ÿ™Œ

On the menu:

๐ŸŒฎ Breakfast tacos
๐Ÿค Fresh ceviche
๐Ÿ… Homemade bruschetta
๐Ÿฅš Bacon deviled eggs
๐Ÿฅ— Mexican coleslaw
๐Ÿ– Meatballs
๐Ÿท Smoked pulled pork with BBQ sauce on the side
๐Ÿฅฉ Pot roast
๐Ÿง€ Enchiladas
๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Spicy Mexican hot chocolate cookies
๐Ÿช Chocolate chip cookies
๐ŸŒˆ Funfetti dessert dip with ALL the dippers
๐Ÿฅค Pop/soda to wash it all down

Basically, we covered breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessertโ€ฆand probably tomorrowโ€™s lunch too. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Nothing brings a team together quite like a table full of homemade food and the collective realization that productivity after lunch may be questionable.

๐Ÿšจ BREAKING POTLUCK NEWS: Justinโ€™s contribution was supposed to include French friesโ€ฆ except the French fries are currently enjoying a relaxing day at Justinโ€™s house. ๐Ÿ˜‚

This has now escalated into an interoffice paging debate over whether Justin should be dispatched to McDonaldโ€™s for emergency replacement fries. ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ“ข

A HUGE thank you to everyone who cooked, baked, smoked, chopped, mixed and brought something to share โ€” or, in Justinโ€™s case, almost brought something to share. ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ

๐Ÿงค GLOVE BOX CHALLENGE RESULTS ARE IN! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

Todayโ€™s Route 66 challenge put our road crew to the test, and the scores were CLOSE. The road crew was granted 2 minutes to view the 20 items in the "Glovebox", 3 minutes to list as many items as they could remember, then a final 2 minutes to answer 5 specific questions.

๐Ÿฅ‡ ๐Ÿš™ Team Jeep โ€” Sandra: 20/25
๐Ÿฅˆ ๐ŸšŒ Team Bus โ€” Angel: 19/25
๐Ÿฅ‰ ๐Ÿš— Team Car โ€” Des: 18/25
๐Ÿ›ธ Team UFO โ€” Ryan: 17/25

Only three points separated first from fourth, but Sandra pulled ahead and earned Team Jeep todayโ€™s top mileage boost! ๐Ÿ‘

The race west continues, and every mile counts. ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‡ Which team are you rooting for as we keep rolling down Route 66?
