thank you everyone for all of the kind thoughts. this is his wife, i told him that i would update this for him as he called me with details. He left today between 2-2:30pm on a full tank of gas. He called around 4ish? and was between Canton & Akron OH. Then again at 7:30 and was on the other side of Toledo, OH. He also said that he has only spent about 6$ in gas. I am now awaiting another phone call,every break he calls to talk to us! He is really excited about his trip. I took a few pictures before he left, and he took a camera with him, so I'm hoping that he uses it to get some great pics. And I will upload them as soon as I get them.
katoranger- thank you so much I will pass this onto him, he had only enough money to make it there, so he wont be staying in any hotels, I am not sure really where he will be crashing,and that kind of worries me. I think this is long enough so I will end it, and promise to keep you kept up to date :)

Prayers sent. :P

Thank you for the update, Mrs. Jim. :) Your husband is in my prayers.

Spud :)

Keep me posted if he needs any help, but I think he will make it just fine.

Last nite he was in Indiana, i cant remember which part. But he rested in a walmart parking lot for a few hours. this morning he rode through Chicago and last time i talked to him he was pretty close to being in the middle of WI....without any sleep hes doing pretty good I think!! he had roughly 500 and some miles to go til he reaches where he is heading to...i think? it was a long nite worrying about him and calling every stop. i do not think he has taken any pictures though. he said there wasnt anything goodto look at and when there was like chicago- he couldnt just stop on the road and snap a pic! he did say they are crazy drivers out there!! he should be calling soon so i will let you all know what i hear. and he said to make sure i said thank you for all the kind thoughts and prayers!

What's his new job? Are you guys looking forward to the move? Sounds exciting!

I bet his butt is sore beyond repair though. That's a long ride on a little bike. Cool adventure though. I hope he's having good weather. What did he bring with him?

Fingers crossed for him.

Wow! I had no idea he was trying to make it straight through in one shot.
Please tell we said to be carefull! I know you already have told him that several times already.

Thank you for keeping us posted!
