Comments:

Had a great time - but I knew from the start I was not trying for a "win" here. 
I was on the way home from a two week vacation,  and not in my usual vehicle
(was in an RV).  There were lots of grounding problems and the RV was rented so
I was not going to go through the entire vehicle and fix them.  I know the
signal suffered vs. other years but I suppose I was still getting out.  

Also, access to better spots was limited and I didn't have a driver to operate
between stops.  Only real 4-county line that was reachable by an RV was the
last stop on the way back to Oklahoma - and I milked it for all I could get.  

Limitations aside it was still fun, and if I didn't participate this way I
could not have done it.  Never heard a signal on 15 meters, the RTTY guys drove
me into band edges that probably made finding me more difficult, and I didn't
have internet access at most stops for some reason (Sprint usually does a
better job) so spots were non-existent and I am sure I missed plenty of
mobile-to-mobile opportunities too.  

Lets hope for more sun input next year!
