I'm still looking forward to Liza joining the group. Because yay more people. 

[@Lord Wraith] It has occurred to me that I am not altogether certain what that rough fifty number mentioned in your first post pertains to. Is it the number of people in the convoy or the number of vehicles? 

Also, how long has it taken them to get from Maine to Pointe Bordeaux? A quick google tells me that it could be done in two days(in the summer) if one really wanted to push one's self, but more comfortably in 4. And with varying ages of people and cars, and probably more than a few stops along the way to try picking up others.... I'll assume travel time is over 4 days, but by how much?

Also, how many hypes did Tarvos start with? In Maine...
