Mission 6: Raider Nation

Check out our final FiestaMovement Mission! We see how the Tailgating action holds up in Raider Nation. We had a blast! Thanks to all of the fans that worked with us on the video and for sharing the incredible food!

Enjoy.

What we learned at the LVMS

He's 14 and Rocks!
Originally uploaded by followthefiesta

We had a great time at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for our 5th Fiesta Movement mission. One thing that we didn't get in our main video was our interaction with a 14 year old driver named Dylan Kwasniewski.

Dylan, the #3 driver at the LVMS, is one of the most impressive kids that I have spoken to. He not only has talent for racing around the track in the Pro Legend (LVMS track holder) and Trucks (for the first time Labor Day weekend) but has the personality to back it up. His attitude is not that of a budding superstar as one would expect -- there is no apparent 'I am the world attitude.' He is well-spoken, gracious, and very down to earth.

I think if the world was full of kids like Dylan, we would all feel a little better about our futures. Check out the video interview with Dylan HERE. (Just ignore me, I was taken over by a California surfer and could only spit out the word awesome over and over again.) And if you haven't seen the full LVMS video you can find that HERE.

Enjoy.

Home from the trip

This sums up how we felt when we returned home from our 48 state road trip in July. All in all we drove 12,000 miles in hitting all the lower 48 and D.C.

Fiesta Meets Nascar at the LVMS

Our latest installment from the FiestaMovement is now up. Check it out. Leave a comment on YouTube and rate it for us. We would love to hear from you. We had a blast! Enjoy.

A Ferry Ride on the Mississippi

A week into our 48 state road trip we were able to take a ferry ride on the Mississippi River. It was a fun adventure from Dorena, MO to Hickman, KY (round trip really.) It was pretty funny the ferry operators had picked up a dog on the KY side on the first run that morning and he rode the ferry all day back and forth from MO to KY. Check out all of our pictures of the ride on our Flickr site HERE.

Enjoy.

A Day with Dogs for the Deaf

We spent a day with Dogs for the Deaf in Central Point, OR for mission 4 of the Fiesta Movement. Learned about the different ways they train dogs to help out people. What a great organization. Thanks to the Fiesta Movement for donating $500!

Check out our video and make sure you sign into YouTube to leave your comments and rate it for us as well.

The Roadtrip

It appears we are about half way through our roadtrip now! We have traveled about 5600 miles so far and hit 20 of the lower 48. The Fiesta is doing great so far! Even the pot hole in South Carolina (the size of the Fiesta) couldn't stop Vortex (that's our Fiesta.) We've hit some fun places along the way including George Washington Carver National Monument (Nat Mon), Vicksburg Nat Mon, Louisville Slugger Bat Tour, and many other great sites.

The humidity is what is getting us in the South though! Being used to the Pacific Northwest, we are constantly running the A/C in Vortex. It seems the Fiesta is fine with this and keeps on motoring along.

Next up is North Carolina, W. Virginia and then heading up North. We have found it to be very challenging to keep up to date on posting pictures and blogs on our travels and have decided to post things when we have more time. Please keep up to date on our travels on our Twitter account HERE and our Facebook FanPage HERE. Leave us a message at either one to let us know what you think.

Enjoy!
