by greg girard very so often a movie character comes along that stays in the public consciousness long after the film leaves the theater. It could be an unforgettable line, like “Go ahead, make my day” or “Here’s Johnny!” – Jack Nicholson’s face when he says that in “The Shining” still gives me shivers. Or it could be just an outstanding performance, like Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter or Jeff Bridges’ The Dude.

Some actors will do anything to run away from a role once it reaches cult status, fearful it will define the rest of his or her career. Sean Connery as James Bond comes to mind. In fact, he once said, “I have always hated that damned James Bond. I’d like to kill him.”

There are other actors, however, that embrace it. Will William Shatner be anything but James T. Kirk? Not a chance, and he doesn’t care.

As Lt. Dan, a Vietnam veteran who lost both legs during the war, in “Forrest Gump,” Gary Sinise brought to the big screen the physical and mental struggles returning soldiers face after combat. Twenty years later, Sinise is still Lt. Dan to thousands of veterans who face the same struggles as his iconic character, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“There’s something different about this part,” Sinise said in an ABC interview before this year’s Oscars. “I’ve walked into so many hospital rooms and they look at me and they think I know what they’re going through.”

Sinise was working with veterans prior to “Forrest Gump,” but the Lt. Dan role, which he says was life-changing, inspired the actor to create the Gary Sinise Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to helping wounded veterans and first responders, from fundraising events with his Lt. Dan Band to modifying homes for disabled veterans.

I think, then, it’s rather appropriate we share our story on Gary Sinise (Page 18) in the same month as Memorial Day. Life always inspires fiction, but there are also times when fiction inspires life – Lt. Dan fits the mold.

Safe driving.

Baseball

I enjoyed the baseball preview by Greg Girard but thought his bias toward the Yankees a little much. Sure, they dominated the headlines in the offseason, but how about mentioning a few of the teams that actually have a chance of winning the series, like the L.A. Dodgers or the St. Louis Cardinals. Jeter is a great player, but the team around him isn’t going to get him very far. Keep dreaming, Greg.

“There’s a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.”

It’s hard to read those few sentences and not immediately hear Rod Serling’s distinct voice followed by the “Twilight Zone” theme. That’s the impact of the “Twilight Zone,” 50 years after it went off the air.

Sure it would be revived as a film in 1983, for TV again in ’85 and most recently in 2002, but those first five seasons really left its mark. Let’s take a closer look at Serling’s legacy.

The television show featured some amazing actors, including Robert Redford, Buster Keaton, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Burt Reynolds, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Carol Burnett, Charles Bronson, Mickey Rooney and Peter Falk.

Go bowling. Carry my own ball and everything.

Creator Rod Serling contributed to many of the scripts, writing or co-writing 92 of the show’s 156 episodes. He was modest about his abilities, though. He’s quoted as saying, “Good writing, like wine, has to age well, and my stuff has been momentarily adequate.”

Legendary science fiction writer Richard Matheson, best known for his horror novel “I Am Legend,” penned 16 episodes of the series.

In 1994, Disney World in Florida opened the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride where guests board an elevator of a haunted hotel and enter into the “fifth dimension” before dropping at a speed faster than free-fall.

Producers were initially looking at other voiceover actors, like Orson Welles, for the introduction, but stuck with Serling. Good move.

In the first three seasons of the show, episodes were 30 minutes. They were increased to an hour for the fourth season, which didn’t go over well with audiences, so the producers reverted to the half-hour format for the final season.

In times of emergency or natural disaster, most expect the Red Cross to be a leading force in the recovery.

Started as an international organization in 1863 in Switzerland, the American chapter was established by Clara Barton in 1881. The Red Cross, however, isn’t limited to blood donations. The organization also offers courses in health and safety, including babysitting, lifeguard and CPR certifications.

Medical Examiner Deadline Approaches

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration feels confident they’ll have close to their targeted number of 40,000 certified medical examiners by their May 21 deadline. For drivers, that means if their medical card expires after that date, they’ll need to obtain a physical only from an authorized examiner. At this point, it could mean drivers traveling miles out of their way to find an authorized medical professional, but FMCSA says by May 21 there should be a certified examiner within a reasonable distance of most drivers around the country. For a complete list of certified examiners, visit nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov.

by pam windsor n the 1994 blockbuster film “Forrest Gump,” when his platoon gets caught in a firefight in Vietnam, Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) pulls his fellow injured soldiers to safety, one by one. His commanding officer, Lt. Dan Taylor (played by Gary Sinise), is among the injured, losing both legs in the battle. As Forrest drags him away from the fighting and saves his life, Lt. Dan screams in anger and later, physically and emotionally shattered, says, “I should have died out there with my men. But now, I’m nothing but a (expletive) cripple.”

His portrayal of Lt. Dan garnered Sinise an Academy Award nomination. And while he’s gone on to play many memorable roles since, from President Harry Truman to his nine-year stint as Detective Mac Taylor on “CSI: New York,” Sinise remains best known for his role as the injured Vietnam vet.

Some actors might have tried to distance themselves

I

from being so closely identified with a single role, but Sinise has embraced it. He’s found playing Lt. Dan has allowed him to connect with members of the military who have, in real life, been severely injured while fighting for their country. In fact, Sinise has become so committed to helping veterans he’s put his acting career on hold for a little while.

Sinise, who grew up in Illinois, began acting in high school. As a teenager, he played in a band and admits he wasn’t a very good student. Then, one day at Highland Park High School, while standing with members of his rock group in the hallway, fate intervened in the form of the drama teacher who walked by and asked them to audition for “West Side Story.”

“She said we looked like we’d make good gang members,” he says, laughing. He and another guy decided to check it out. Sinise ended up getting cast as one of the

Sharks, a street gang in the play.

“I just fell in love with everybody in the play and being in the show and from that point on, I just wanted to be in plays and musicals. I played in my band and then I did theater.”

After high school, Sinise and some friends started a small community theater in Chicago. What began in a church basement went on to become the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre.

“When you go to Chicago and see this giant building we built, I think we own four buildings on this one block, two of them were built from the ground up and the other two we bought. When you think back that all of that started with teenagers, it’s really kind of a pretty neat American theater story.”

Sinise says his attitude has always been “If you can think it, you can do it.” He’s always believed if you work hard and want to achieve, you will.

Sinise’s most memorable role WAS as Lt. Dan in the 1994 movie “Forrest Gump.” His performance earned him a number of “Best Supporting Actor” nominations.

Even in the early days of his acting career, Sinise felt a need to help veterans. At Steppenwolf, Sinise began thinking of using the theater to help those who’d recently returned from the Vietnam War. They started offering something called “Vets Night.”

“I was directing a play about Vietnam veterans and wanted to make it available to them to come and see the show for free,” Sinise explains. “It was a very difficult time for our Vietnam veterans. All of a sudden, every Tuesday night would just be filled with veterans experiencing the play and staying around afterwards to talk to the actors and it turned into kind of a healing moment. It was very cathartic.”

Thirty years later, thanks to Sinise, Steppenwolf and now the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles continue to offer free performances and free dinners to veterans.

Following his success as both a director and an actor at Steppenwolf, Sinise began moving into film. His first movie role came in the 1992 movie “A Midnight Clear.” That same year, he starred in and directed a film version of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.” Then, the chance to play Lt. Dan came along, something very meaningful for Sinise after his experience with the veterans at Steppenwolf.

“I very much wanted the part and was lucky to get it.”

Shortly after the movie hit theaters, the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) invited Sinise to their annual convention to honor him for playing the wounded veteran.

“I was just bowled over by the whole experience and meeting all of these wounded veterans from World War II and Korea, Vietnam and even Desert Storm. I ended up supporting the DAV for a number of years,” he says.

w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

Then, in 2001, terrorists hijacked four American planes, crashing two into the World Trade Center, a third into the Pentagon, and a fourth in a field in Pennsylvania.

“I just needed to do something after Sept.

11,” he recalls. “It was a painful time and I wanted to support our military and I didn’t want our active-duty Afghanistan and Iraq vets to come home to the kind of reception our Vietnam vets had when they came home.”

He began doing USO handshake tours, initially on his own. Later, he began taking a group of musician friends along. At the time, they were part of a “jam group” that got together once in a while, but they soon became the The Lt. Dan Band, with the sole purpose of entertaining the troops. The dynamic, high-energy cover band features Sinise on bass guitar. Over the past 10 years, Sinise has appeared at nearly 200 USO shows at bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Korea and other parts of the world, as well as all over the U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Jason Klinger recalls seeing Sinise in Iraq. He notes that while other artists often leave right after the show, Sinise took time to shake hands and sign autographs.

“The difference between him and the other guys was he actually stayed to meet everyone. While everybody else just kind of left the stage, he stayed until everyone else w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

was gone. It was totally different than anything I’ve ever seen before.”

For Sinise, the initial goal behind the USO tours was to let the troops know that someone cares about what they’re doing. His ability to do that took on new meaning after a visit to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, the hospital where those severely injured in places like Iraq and Afghanistan are transported and stabilized before they can be sent back to the United States.

His hospital stop capped a three-month USO tour through Iraq, Italy and Germany.

“This is back in 2003 and I was a little apprehensive thinking how I was going to react to seeing wounded soldiers,” he recalls. He walked into the hospital and saw a group lined up, waiting for medical attention.

These were soldiers whose injuries were less severe, and they would likely be treated and sent back to the war zone. He described some of them as having the “thousand-mile stare.”

“They were looking kind of sad and I started introducing myself to them,” he explains. “And you could see their faces start to light up. They didn’t know my name but M A Y 2 0 1 4 C H A L L E N G E 21

they started to recognize me from ‘Forrest Gump’ as Lt. Dan. They started calling me Lt. Dan, talking about the movie and making jokes, and their whole demeanor, everything changed.”

Something also changed for Sinise.

“I realized right there that playing the character was more than just a part or job in a movie. It had this relationship to a portion of our population and could be used in a positive way to help people.”

He began spending more time visiting injured troops in military hospitals, at the same time playing USO shows on weekends, while shooting “CSI: New York” during the week.

Over the years, Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band have raised money for countless military charities and projects. His work and involvement grew so big that in 2011 he created the Gary Sinise Foundation to pool resources, create joint partnerships and do even more for veterans. One of the biggest projects (in partnership with the Stephen Stiller Tunnels to Towers Foundation) includes building “smart homes” for those who’ve lost multiple limbs, like Army Master Sgt. John Masson, a Special Forces medical sergeant with the 20th Special Forces Group who was injured while serving in Afghanistan in October of 2010.

Masson stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) and lost both legs and part of his left arm (he’s left-handed) while clearing a village south of Kandahar. w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

“I never really lost consciousness during the blast,” he remembers. “The pain was insane and you can hear the urgency in their voices and I felt for sure I was going to die. And it was a matter of going through a process of OK, don’t let me die here on this ground, let me speak to my family again or let me see them one more time and then I can go.”

He focused on staying alive and trying to make it to the hospital.

“I pretty much knew there were limbs missing and I just wanted to be able to wake up again. And three days later I did.”

Retired and living in North Carolina with his family, Masson says “life is good.”

And now, he looks forward to moving into his new home, being built with the help of the Gary Sinise Foundation.

“Smart homes,” which can cost in excess of $500,000, allow injured vets to live independent lives. Masson explains how the houses are custom-made to fit the needs of the veterans and their specific injuries.

Masson’s home will be fully wired, so he can control appliances via iPad, and will have kitchen cabinets lower to his level with a push of a button.

“I’m missing my dominant left hand, so the way they’re going to place the bars in the bathroom, it’s all going to be conducive to

w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

me. My sink in the bathroom is going to be built so I can get my wheelchair under it.”

Masson says he’s extremely grateful to the organizations helping fund his new home and to Sinise.

“Gary’s just a wonderful, wonderful man. He dedicates so much of his time to veterans,” he says. “He’s just non-stop and I wonder where the energy comes from. We asked him why one day, thinking he was going to go into it a little bit, and he just pointed to myself and another service member and said, ‘Because of you guys.’”

For now, Sinise has put his acting career on the back burner as he works to build awareness for the foundation. He says that due to the successful run of “CSI: New York,” he can take some time off to do it.

“Having a successful show cuts me some slack for a while. I’m able to devote full-time to seeing that the foundation is strong. There will be a time when I’ll go back to work and get back to acting and at that point my goal is to make sure it can operate without being dependent on my fulltime involvement.”

His foundation continues to fund a steady stream of new projects, such as the recent “Hollywood Salutes Heroes” event where, in partnership with American Airlines and the USO, 60 wounded veterans

were flown to California to spend a day at Disneyland and Paramount Pictures.

“Getting them out of hospitals and showing them they can have a good time and people care can be so important to their mental attitude about their own rehabilitation,” Sinise says.

And there are other outings and events, such as Invincible Spirit Festivals, to let not only the vets but also the families know they are not alone. Sinise says he’s been fortunate with a successful acting career and his strong family with wife Moira and children Sophia, Mac and Ella. He believes his work to support veterans matters and he is happy to rely on his role of Lt. Dan and the way the story plays out to set a real-life example.

“That story is a positive story for our wounded. [Lt. Dan] goes through all of the anger and despair and confusion of what he’s going to do after he gets injured, and by the end of the story he’s standing up again and he’s rich and successful, he’s a business guy, and he’s moving on with his life. It’s a story we want for all our veterans.”

here’s nothing wrong with “going big,” and that’s just what Shell Rotella has planned for its 32nd annual SuperRigs competition. Eat your heart out, Miss America. This is beauty and brawn.

The SuperRigs event, to be held at the zMax Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway May 15-17, will feature a stunning lineup of up to 200 decked-out tractors and trailers for the judges to rank and the crowds to enjoy. Winners will take home cash and prizes worth $25,000, with 22 different awards up for grabs, including best of show,

best theme, people’s choice and the classic division. There’s also a virtual category for those that can’t make the trip to Charlotte beginning in May. But the ultimate prize, the one every driver truly covets, is a page on the Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.

“The prize money is great to have but, honestly, it’s the prestige of being in that calendar,” says Bill Rethwisch, winner of best of show last year and owner of the cover rig on this year’s calendar. “Growing up, looking at that calendar, always waiting to see what kind of trucks were going to be in

there. And now to see something I own and built on the front cover … it’s amazing.”

Rethwisch’s “Dreamsicle” 2012 Peterbilt rig of Omaha orange and white with nearly 250 lights was inspired by his favorite treat growing up. But don’t let the shiny polish and toy-like appearance of these trucks fool you. It takes a lot of time, toil and dollars to make these rigs look the way they do.

“I probably have a half a million dollars in the truck,” Rethwisch says. “The more I did, the more I realized it was gaining national attention. We’re just a small seventruck operation that runs a three-state area,

Kenneth Fisher’s mocha pearl and lime green Peterbilt. but just about everybody knows who we are now. We use it as a marketing tool, and we just love it.”

“There’s always something to do,” he says. “But I’m never getting rid of this truck. I already told my wife, when I die you might as well just melt it and cremate me with it.”

It’s that passion that has made the Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition the world’s premier big-rig beauty contest. And it’s why Shell Rotella decided they’d take this year’s event to the next level, coinciding the competition with a Camping World Truck Series race on May 16 and the Sprint All-Star Race on May 17. Contestants can even attend a concert by country singer Jake Owen.

“Drivers kept telling me they’re on the road so much and on their downtime they listen to NASCAR, so they said it would be great to link up SuperRigs with a NASCAR event,” says David Waterman, marketing manager for Shell Rotella and organizer of the SuperRigs competition. “So I looked into it. Charlotte was the natural fit.”

Requirements of the competition are straightforward. It must be a working truck that runs at least 85,000 miles a year (there is a show truck category for nonworking trucks, but show trucks cannot be considered for the best-of-show prize) and the truck must be DOT-compliant.

Everything else, from style to theme to color to shine, is at the discretion of the truck owners.

Accolades aside, Rethwisch admits it’s the everyday reactions he gets while on the road that make his efforts worthwhile. “We’re constantly having people take pictures of us driving down the interstate, following us into gas stations where we unload, wanting to see the interior,” he says.

Then again, he can’t stay away from the SuperRigs event either.

“We’re going to put the orange one in the competition and try to make the calendar again. We’re going to shoot for the cover two years in a row,” he says with a laugh. “I don’t know if we can do it, but I’m telling ya, we’re sure going to try.”

This year’s Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition is on May 15-17 at the zMAX Dragway, next to the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

inding both critical and commercial success can be a very difficult thing in the business they call show. Chances are if you achieve one, it comes at the expense of the other.

Singer/songwriter Brandy Clark is one of the rare folks to find both the love of music writers and country music audiences around the world. It just hasn’t arrived in the way one might expect.

The 37-year-old was one of the most talked-about artists of 2013, with her debut “12 Stories” getting rave reviews in publications as varied as Country Weekly and New York Magazine. For all that, though, her sole single “Stripes” didn’t chart, and the LP just cracked

F

Billboard’s Country Album chart before slipping off soon after.

Clark’s commercial triumphs have come by putting her lyrics and melodies in the hands of other artists. Last year alone, her songs “Mama’s Broken Heart” and “Better Dig Two” were taken to No. 1 by Miranda Lambert and The Band Perry, respectively. Clark has had her songs cut by everyone from Darius Rucker and Keith Urban to LeAnn Rimes and Sheryl Crow.

“It’s really cool,” says Clark, speaking of her songwriting successes while bouncing in a tour bus on the way to open for Jennifer Nettles in Milwaukee.

“What’s interesting about that is that when my songs got recorded early on,

I didn’t have anyone who had a voice I knew. But then I had a cut on a Kenny Rogers CD that he released through Cracker Barrel and Reba McEntire did a couple of my songs. Those were the first cuts that felt like the way you imagine them to be.”

In that respect, her story is one of those success stories you always hope to hear coming out of Nashville: the young songwriter who arrives in Music City from a small town with a lot of raw talent and ambition, struggles to be heard above the din of the songwriting rabble, and gets plucked out of near obscurity to score some chart-topping hits.

For Clark, her tale began more than 2,000 miles away from the heart of the

country music world: in Morton, Wash., a tiny logging town in the western part of the state, with a population just over 1,000.

“It was great, but it was the only thing I knew,” she says of her old hometown. “I just assumed everyone was like in Morton.

I really did assume everyone grew up like I did in a small town. I didn’t even know that it was a quiet, safe place until years later.”

Like many burgeoning musicians, Clark was surrounded by music growing up, reared on a diet of classic country, show tunes, and whatever was on the radio. And because she lived in a part of the town where the cable company couldn’t reach, family time meant huddling around the piano for a sing-along or learning to play the guitar.

It wasn’t until after college that Clark decided to devote herself entirely to music, first playing in a band with her mom and grandmother around Morton, and then stepping out to write and perform her own material. And it was soon thereafter that the itch to move to Nashville got stirred up.

“I was watching ‘Crook & Chase’ on TNN and there was a segment with Trisha Yearwood about the School of Music at Belmont University in Tennessee,” she remembers. “She had gone there. I didn’t think it would be a possibility, but my parents were like, ‘Why not?’ Of course, I wouldn’t have

32 C H A L L E N G E M A Y 2 0 1 4

moved had I not thought I was writing really good songs. But when I got there, I realized I had a long way to go.”

Like most Nashville hopefuls, Clark cut her teeth on open-mic nights in and around

To have ‘12 Stories’ come out on so many ‘best of’ lists last year was so validating.

the city, playing a few songs in hopes of getting noticed by some savvy publisher or producer. She admits there were still kinks to be worked out in her songwriting.

“I would always have one song that I felt good about, but then the rest would feel like filler,” Clark says. “But I would build on that and get better and better, and get a number of songs that I felt really good about. And when the publishers I would know would hear them and respond, that’s when I knew they were really good.”

The slow build to her recent wins in the country music marketplace began there, around 2005, but didn’t start to really pick up speed until about three years later, when one of Toby Keith’s protégés, Mica Roberts, recorded Clark’s “Things A Mama Don’t Know” for her debut album.

Around that same time, Emilie Marchbanks-Glover, a Nashville power player who was, at that point, working with both Vince Gill and Jamey Johnson, heard some of Clark’s demos and offered to take her on as a client.

“Thank God that that happened,” says Clark, “because it changed the course of my life.”

At this point, it should be noted that one of the biggest factors keeping many talented female country artists from getting noticed by the establishment in Music City is age.

Unless you arrive on the scene at a young age (e.g., Rimes, Lambert, Carrie Underwood) or have been around long enough to

Brandy Clark will be on tour throughout the spring and summer. For venues and dates, go to brandyclarkmusic.com. be accepted as a legacy artist (Dolly Parton, Jo Dee Messina), it’s that much harder to score a record deal or even see your music released.

“If you don’t have a deal in place by the time you’re 30,” Clark says, “chances are you’re not going to get one. I thought that phase had passed.”

That feeling wasn’t helped by the hesitance with which the Nashville establishment greeted “12 Stories.”

“We’d pitch it to major labels and would get so far down the road and they’d say, ‘We love it but we don’t know what to do with it,’” says Clark, her voice still stinging a bit from the rejection. “Or the president of the label likes it but radio doesn’t know how they are going to get it played. I just looked at Emilie and said, ‘We gotta put this out or I’ve got to put this to bed.’”

Two days before they were geared up to announce that they were self-releasing it, Jim Burnett of Slate Creek Records, a small independent label out of Texas, came to the rescue, offering to help get the album into stores and, most importantly, into the hands of critics.

“To have it come out on so many ‘best of’ lists last year was so validating,” Clark says. “The press has really driven this record. We’ve sold over 25,000 copies, which is amazing for an independent release.”

“12 Stories” has also kicked the door open for a lot of amazing opportunities for the singer-songwriter. In addition to her run of summer tour dates with Nettles, she’s starting work on a stage version of the popular TV variety show “Hee Haw.” And she’s got publishers knocking on her door hoping to score another “Better Dig Two” for their clients.

At the same time, Clark is looking forward to quickly getting back in the studio to work on a follow-up to “12 Stories,” acknowledging that she’s putting a lot of pressure on herself to really shine with album No. 2.

“The way that record was received, I know that I have to make a record as good or better,” she says. “Not just a copy of it, which I don’t think I could do anyway. I don’t want to make a paler version of what’s come before. I want to go somewhere different.”

ON THE ROAD

Spring RV Trips

BY Marion Kelly

W

armer weather has us itching to hit the open road for some good ol’ road tripping. To help you enjoy the best the season has to offer, we’ve put together a list of five great RV trips around the country, from the prehistoric volcanoes on the West Coast to the balmy marshes of Florida.

1. Big Bend Scenic Byway, Florida

Before the stifling heat and humidity of summer rolls in, consider a trip down the 220-mile Big Bend Scenic Byway. Starting just southwest of Tallahassee, the byway circles around and through the Apalachicola National Forest and then down the coast of the Gulf of Mexico along the Saint George Sound. Birders should check out St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, known for its more than 300 species of feathered friends, while film buffs will get a kick out of Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, where the movies “Tarzan of the Apes” and “Creature from the Black Lagoon” were filmed. Seafood lovers should keep an eye out for crab festivals – there are quite a few throughout the year.

2. Crowley’s Ridge Parkway, Arkansas and Missouri

People can thank the Ice Age for cutting Crowley’s Ridge through the lowlands of the Delta region and providing amazing views and a unique geological experience. The majority of the 212-mile parkway runs northsouth through Arkansas, but it meanders into Missouri for a couple of miles. History buffs will enjoy the Civil War site of the Battle of Helena, fought in 1863, as well as the original surveying point for the Louisiana Purchase.

Music lovers should check out the Delta Cultural Center for the “Delta Sounds” exhibit dedicated to the music – blues, gospel and rockabilly – of the Arkansas Delta.

3. Great River Road National Scenic Byway, Minnesota and Louisiana

You could spend an entire summer exploring the Great River Road. Spanning 10 states and a whopping 2,069 miles, the byway fol-

38 C H A L L E N G E M A Y 2 0 1 4

lows the mighty Mississippi River, the fifth largest river in the world. If you’re not up for driving the entire byway, consider focusing on Minnesota and Wisconsin. A great shorter version of the trip is to drive down the Minnesota side, cross over, and drive up the Wisconsin side. Cycling enthusiasts will love discovering the River Road by bicycle, where quite a few parts have bicycle-specific paths, while antiquers will surely score some great finds in one of the quaint river towns dotting the shoreline.

4. Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, California and Oregon

It’s difficult not to be impressed by volcanoes. The stunning byway mostly consists of driving from volcano to volcano, a sort of connect-the-dots journey of fiery, hot magma. The Lassen Volcanic National Park, in the southern end of the byway, has plenty of active volcanoes, although active is a subjective term. The last volcanic eruption from Lassen Peak was in 1915. Hiking and natureviewing opportunities abound along this byway as well. Once in Oregon, check out Crater Lake (also an “active” volcano, although it last spewed 4,800 years ago), the deepest lake in the United States. A drive around the 33-mile rim is a must. Who needs artificial thrill rides, when Mother Nature could surprise you at any moment?

5. Journey Through Hallowed Ground Byway, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia

Get an amazing glimpse into the history of our nation on the 180-mile byway that starts in Gettysburg, Pa., and ends in Monticello, Va. Described by the late historian C. Vann Woodward as having “soaked up more of the blood, sweat, and tears of American history than any other part of the country,” all of the stops along the byway are must-sees for military and history buffs alike. Offering battlegrounds and presidential homes, the byway also boasts 13 national parks. It’s difficult to fit more history into such a short drive. w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

RV People I

’m not quite sure what it is, but RV people are a bit different. I guess anyone who decides to spend their time living in a rectangular box fitted with wheels has to have a bit of quirkiness to them.

Luckily, this quirkiness, while possibly out of place in everyday life, is a source of friendship and camaraderie in the RV world. People that would probably interact as well as oil and water in the “real world” find bonds of friendship on the road.

Cassie and I have been associated with one of these particular RV groups for the past 13 years. We join together each year to resume old friendships and do some good by building Habitat for Humanity homes.

We are a motley crew, and come from all places and walks of life. We have a few skilled carpenters, but most of us are folks that are slightly advanced in age but take great pride in our ability to frame the walls, install the windows and put on the roof, all with a minimum of broken bones or serious injury.

I’ve built decks with JB, who when asked what she does for a living, replied, “I pass gas.” She’s an anesthetist. I’ve framed rooms with Ron, a decorated fire fighter

BY Chad Blake

who can’t drive a nail to save his life. I’ve put up doors with Nancy, one of the first female fire chiefs in her state. The most experienced carpenter in our group, John, used to be an editor of a well-known Canadian newspaper. And then there are those we can’t talk about at all, for fear of retribution, those CIA folks. But don’t quote me on that.

This is a brotherhood for me. A family.

These are all people who will go to great lengths to introduce themselves, assist you with breakdowns, provide tools, food, information and even invite you into their Conestoga for a get-together, all without judgment or preconceived notions. There are very few strangers in this brotherhood.

Over the years, we’ve shared heartaches, breakdowns, magnificent vistas, photographs, campfires and stories. We come together off the grid, for the most part, no longer punching time clocks, attending boring meetings or stressing over the daily tedium of life. It’s a time to celebrate our quirkiness, unshackled and free at last. Free to roam and explore those places and people we have only dreamed about.

It’s what RV people are and do.

a pain in the neck by dr. bud harris Dr. Bud is a health and wellness coach and consultant. Website: www.docbud.com, Facebook: Doc Bud, Twitter: @Doctorbud

ver wonder why some days you have pain or a stiff neck? Maybe you experience minor headaches at the end of the day? Believe it or not, it is estimated that 80 percent of the U.S. population experiences chronic headaches and neck pain – about the same percentage as people who suffer from low back pain.

The cool part is almost all of this pain is mostly preventable and stems from things such as poor posture, lack of flexibility, inactivity and not drinking enough highquality water.

The discs in your back are 80 percent water. And long dormant postures, such as those behind the wheel, staring at a computer screen or peering intently into that 4-inch screen to tweet, Facebook or play Angry Birds for hours at a time, wreak havoc on our posture, blood flow and overall tension.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can’t avoid most of these activities, but there are some simple neck exercises we can do to help alleviate those pains in the neck. Here are six easy stretches to help keep the muscles and ligaments in your neck limber and mostly pain-free.

E

A few pointers to keep in mind as you stretch and strengthen your neck: 1) Never stretch to a point where you experience pain; the goal is to feel a comfortable stretch.

2) Try to stretch later in the afternoon or evening, when your blood circulation is at its peak.

3) If possible, save stretching and strengthening sessions for after you have been physically active.

4) Do not bounce or bob with your stretches.

5) Never stop breathing while you stretch.

1. Forward flex: Let your head fall forward so that your chin approaches the top of your

40 C H A L L E N G E M A Y 2 0 1 4

chest. Once you feel a stretch in the muscles that line the back of your neck or when the joints of your neck won’t allow you to bend forward any further, whichever comes first, hold this position for as long as is comfortable, up to 30 seconds.

2. Backward extension: Let your head bend backward so that you can look at the ceiling or sky. Once you feel a stretch on the front side of your neck or your neck won’t allow you to go back any further, whichever comes first, hold this position for as long as is comfortable, up to 30 seconds.

3. Rotate to right: With your shoulders facing forward, turn your head to your right. When you feel a stretch or pull anywhere in your neck or cannot rotate any further, whichever comes first, hold this position for as long as is comfortable, up to 30 seconds.

4. Rotate to left: Repeat the same steps described above, but with your head turning to your left.

5. Lateral flex to right: With your shoulders facing forward, allow your head to fall toward your right shoulder so that your right ear moves toward your right shoulder.

Once you feel a stretch or pull along the left side of your neck, hold this position for as long as is comfortable, up to 30 seconds.

Remember to keep both shoulders level.

It’s your head that should bend toward your shoulder, so avoid raising your shoulder to meet your head.

6. Lateral flex to left: Repeat the same steps described above, but with your head falling toward your left shoulder.

It takes just minutes a day to prevent many of the chronic aches and pains we experience in our fast-paced, hectic lives. Just like the breathing exercises we learned about in March, it requires a conscious choice to “just do anything” consistently! Your neck muscles and ligaments will thank you. w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

any young hunters dream of becoming a guide. The romance of it is enhanced with visions of wilderness and a sense of being one with the land and wildlife.

Sure, there is that. And then reality sets in. Let me just warn you, some of those you guide don’t always get the vision.

My husband and I guided deer hunters in western Illinois for a couple of years. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything, but guiding is a tough business. The work is hard, but that’s no problem for a determined soul. Equipment breaks down, but you learn how to fix it. The weather doesn’t always cooperate, but you just roll with it. Animals don’t always do what you expect, but that is to be expected. Many of your clients will become lifelong friends, but some … some you never want to see again.

Guiding certain people is the greatest challenge. By “certain people,” I mean the very small number of folks who, as soon as they show up in camp, you are quite sure they should take up another hobby. As a guide, though, you’re stuck with them for at least a few days and so you have to make the best of it.

Take, for instance, two of my clients who did not understand the concept of quiet.

Whispering was not in their capacity. They seemed incapable of not slamming the truck door. They managed to step on and break every stick in their path.

M

42 C H A L L E N G E M A Y 2 0 1 4

I took them into a valley one morning and we actually managed to get to the stand without the usual ruckus. I explained that if the deer got past them in the morning, we would return to the same area that afternoon. The deer would be bedded on a hillside about 150 yards above us when I came to get them midday.

The deer in this valley were used to our trucks, with farmers and others driving through. Usually they felt hidden and just watched as we drove by. Any other noises, however, would make them nervous. I stressed with my hunters the need to be as quiet as possible getting in and out so as not to ruin their afternoon chances and run the deer off the hill. They seemed to get it.

It turned out they didn’t, because when I came back to get them, I rolled down the window and whispered, “Any luck?”

“Squirrels,” one of them screamed. “All we saw were squirrels!” The other one then noisily tossed his gear in the back before they both slammed their doors after jumping into the truck. All I could do was sigh.

I almost ran over one of my clients. A young man and his father were assigned to me. The dad smoked, wore plaid and typically dropped most of his possessions out of the tree stand. The son was a scent control freak. That’s a good thing. He kept his gear in scent-free bags in the back of my truck and changed into them each time he went to the tree stand. One morning the dad and I

sat in the front as the son retreated behind my truck to change into his clothes before daylight. We waited a long time. I was hesitant to look in the mirror to see if he was still back there in case he wasn’t quite dressed, so I asked the dad to check. The dad assured me the son was gone. I put the truck in reverse and heard a thud. Luckily he wasn’t hurt.

Not all of your clients will be in shape for the hunt. One of my clients was quite heavy.

He was following me down a long dirt road after a rainfall. I carried the tree stand I was going to hang for him when we got to our location. I heard a noise and then a cry and saw my client and his gear slide past me down the slick wet road.

The next day, I took him somewhere else and carried all of his gear to the top of the hill. I sat him at the base of a tree, explained where we expected the deer to come from and provided instructions as to where I would pick him up just after dark. I told him to head directly down the hill at the spot where the sun went down and I would be waiting for him. It turned out he was afraid of the dark. He came down the hill a full 30 minutes before dusk, otherwise known as the prime time of deer movement.

If you have the patience for it, guiding “certain people” can result in some of your best hunting-camp stories. If not, better to just remain an avid hunter. w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

Dale Call by claire b. lang

watched as Dale Earnhardt Jr. sat calmly in the drivers’ meeting several hours before the 2014 Daytona 500 was supposed to go green. He was looking around the room at all the other drivers in the field and seemed deep in thought.

“I was thinking about how steep a hill this is going to be to climb to win,” he said when I asked him his thoughts. “How tough the competition is in this (NASCAR Sprint Cup) series, about how knowledgeable and talented every driver is, and was just thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’”

It was not a lack of confidence that the driver of the No. 88 National Guard Chevy was feeling. He was simply facing the truth after finishing second in three of the previous four 500s.

After a six-and-a-half-hour rain delay and a 500-mile race that he not only survived, but won, I reconnected with Earnhardt in victory lane. There, he told me, “I can’t believe it’s happening to me! It’s always just usually a dream.”

The seed of that dream began in Earnhardt as a young boy and I’ve been covering him ever since. In victory lane that day, it was hard not to notice his massive smile.

It was truly a beacon from a driver who has, at times, appeared extremely serious and reserved – some labeled him withdrawn, others interpreted it as ambivalence. Not so. Not even close.

Talking with him live on the air for SiriusXM NASCAR, I wanted to address that misconception as he celebrated. If he replied, “Nah, that’s not how I feel,” I’d be out on a limb on live radio. I considered going the safe route, but I decided I’d rather take the interview to the edge, and so I went for it.

“Everybody (in victory lane) said they’ve never seen you so happy, but it’s not that you haven’t been happy inside before,” I said to him. “You’re just so con-

I

44 C H A L L E N G E M A Y 2 0 1 4

centrated on winning that it shows on your face. Now … it’s like everything is released from you and you can show the happiness (within).”

“You get me, you understand,” Earnhardt replied.

I was there with a microphone as Earnhardt gained confidence as a young driver and then lost his father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., to a Daytona wreck. I covered him in one of his first big news conferences as he looked down, picking at the sole of his shoe, so he wouldn’t have to look folks in the eye. I covered him rising to the most popular driver, graciously accepting that honor from the fans year after year. I have fielded on-air calls over the years from his fans as well as from those who didn’t think he was worthy.

He has been steadfast and true to himself every step of the way, handling himself and his business with class.

Several years ago, when his critics were pulling at him for not winning, a reporter in one of the many group media sessions that I attend asked him if he was a great driver. I wondered how he’d answer. The pressure was on. He said he truly thought he was.

At Daytona, I reminded him of that answer.

“If you don’t feel like you’re the best or think you’re one of the best, you’re not going to put up a fight,” he said. “You’ll lay over to those guys.”

I think he’ll have more wins in 2014.

His crew chief, Steve Letarte, moves to the NBC television booth in 2015. I feel strongly that this is a driver who will find out that the confidence and drive he learned from Letarte and others was within himself all along.

He, like all of us, will find that amazing things are possible with that knowledge. w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

onboard recorders by mike howe Twitter: @TruckingDC • Facebook: www.facebook.com/TruckingPoliticsMore

he long-awaited mandate for all trucks to be equipped with electronic logbooks is here. Well, “long awaited” might be a bit of an overstatement, but everyone in the industry knew a mandate was coming. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) began the public process of examining the issue of electronic logbooks in 2011, requesting feedback from public listening sessions and comments. Then the most recent transportation bill, MAP-21, included a mandate as well.

In August, the Obama administration announced a proposal to eliminate “burdensome daily paperwork” requirements for professional truck drivers. FMCSA and the Obama administration estimate that moving away from daily paperwork will reduce costs to the industry by about $1.7 billion annually. While that amount is astounding, the fact that savings can be realized using technology should not be a surprise – it’s the way of the world.

In the effort to mandate the use of electronic logbooks, the government is doing what it does best – studying the issue a little bit longer. In March, FMCSA announced a “Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” related to electronic onboard recorders. “By leveraging innovative technology with electronic logging devices, we have the opportunity to save lives and boost efficiency for both motor carriers and safety inspectors,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.

According to the DOT, the proposed rule will ultimately reduce hours-of-service violations by making it more difficult for drivers to misrepresent their time on logbooks.

The department states the rule will also help reduce crashes by fatigued drivers, and prevent approximately 20 fatalities and 434 injuries each year for an annual safety benefit of $394.8 million.

“By implementing electronic logging devices, we will advance our mission to increase safety and prevent fatigued drivers from getting behind the wheel,” said FMCSA Administrator Anne Ferro. “With broad support from safety advocates, carriers and members of Congress, we are committed to

T

w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

achieving this important step in the commercial bus and truck industries.”

It should come as no surprise that this, like other new mandates coming out of FMCSA, is directly related to safety, fatigue and crashes. This has been emphasized repeatedly by Ferro and the Obama administration – as it should be.

Mandating EOBRs on all trucks, however, has some drivers and other interested parties concerned, with driver privacy and harassment at the top of the list. Any implementation of onboard recorders needs to come with assurances that drivers will not be harassed, and all privacy concerns should be addressed. Private information and driver data should not be shared with anyone other than the regulating agency; it should not be used to monitor drivers mile by mile. For law enforcement, EOBRs should make it easy to check logs and deter cheaters. But at the same time, the process needs to be quick.

While electronic logbooks are already popular with large trucking companies because of the efficiencies created, owneroperators and some small fleet owners are naturally, and rightly, concerned about the cost of the system. Opinions vary in the industry, particularly with drivers, with some welcoming onboard recorders because it eliminates the nagging paperwork, while others think it’s a little too close to “big brother.”

Regardless, the writing is on the wall – the mandate for electronic logbooks is near. I don’t know anyone in the industry who doesn’t have safety as his or her highest priority. Safe operations are profitable operations. Questions remain, however, as to whether EOBRs will make the roadways safer. And can small fleets, especially owner-operators, absorb the costs of onboard recorders and survive?

I am in favor of improved efficiencies, but I’m less inclined to support mandated efficiencies. I am highly supportive of tools to improve safety, but I’m skeptical that the associated costs of mandated EOBRs would actually improve safety in a meaningful way. It seems nothing is ever as simple as we want it to be.

The Salt and the Light

would like to think that whoever sets the construction-zone speed limits has a degree in engineering and has done multiple studies to figure out the perfect speed. Sometimes it seems too slow for most drivers, whom I often irritate by driving the speed limit through construction areas. A speeding-through-construction ticket is worse than murder and mayhem on a trucker’s CSA score, so I drive the limit, even if it seems silly.

The first car to pass me after the speed limit went down in Iowa City, Iowa, was a late-model Buick. The silver-haired lady in the passenger seat was smiling at me, instead of scowling.

“Nice smile,” I thought as they went by.

The young mother driving the next car made it a point to lean over and glare up at me. I felt irritated, but as I started to scowl back, I remembered the sermon I had heard on SiriusXM satellite radio. The speaker was giving a lesson

on how Christians are supposed to be different.

We are called to be the salt and light of the world. To simplify the message greatly, we are supposed to act better than is expected. Not many Christians do, and that is unfortunate.

The world would be a better place if they did.

As an OTR driver, my interactions with people are shorter than most. I have thousands of interactions every day, but they only last about 6 seconds. That is the time it takes for a car or truck to pass me. Was I was behaving in a way that made life better for the drivers around me, or worse? A driver that is being considerate, safe and forgiving of other drivers’ mistakes or attitudes is the kind of driver I wanted be around. Perhaps I could improve my driving to meet those standards.

I began to pray for people going by, waving and smiling, letting other drivers merge even if I thought they were rude for going around me.

Daniel is a writer, a runner, and a team driver with his wife, Cindy. More musings of their years on the road can be found at adventuretrucking.blogspot.com.

I found that my day was more peaceful when I did not let every freeway war affect my attitude.

I smiled and made an apologetic wave at the young mother. “Sorry to hold you up, ma’am, company policy and all,” I tried to convey with a shrug. She seemed mollified, but the little girl in the pink dress behind her had her tiny fists on her hips. I have a theory that you can tell the last thing a driver said about you by how their small child looks at you. The girl had such a derisive look on her face that I burst out laughing.

Not all truck drivers are Christians but perhaps people who are professional drivers should act better than is expected. They have more training, more time behind the wheel, and an incentive not to endanger their license and career. Not all truckers act better than is expected, though. That is unfortunate. The road would be a better place if they did.

Roadside Wonders by amanda jakl

merica may not be known for the best museums in the world or for the tastiest cuisine, but an argument could be made for the most kitsch. Americans don’t hide their love of excess.

Case in point: Las Vegas. We are the country that loves roadside attractions, the bigger the better. Who doesn’t love a photo next to a larger-than-life buffalo as they’re driving through the Badlands of South Dakota?

We’ve compiled a list of some great roadside “record holders” that you’re going to want in your scrapbook. And if you do stop by any of these, make sure to send us a photo.

a glass of Jim Beam in thanks to making this muskellange possible. The whiskey distillery helped fund the building of this magnificent fish, which is half a city block long and almost five stories high. With more than 100,000 vistors annually, the Hall of Fame is the Holy Grail for the record-holding freshwater fishermen. The landmark will lure fishing enthusiasts with its impressive collection of paraphanalia, including rods, reels and vintage outboard motors as well as plenty of mounted fish. Not just any mounted fish, these are the record-breakers, and the infamous 69-pound, 11-ounce muskie of ’49 caught by a local bootlegger will surely send your mind reeling.

One of the seven buildings in the Hall of Fame museum complex, the muskie is home to the Shrine to Anglers – yes, it lies in the belly of the beast. The memorial for the apparently famous Herman the Worm is in the muskie as well. After you’re paid your respects, head up to the observational deck, which can hold 20 of your closest friends – perfect for that fishing-themed wedding you have planned. Fishing enthusiasts can raise

After you’ve visited the muskie, cross the mighty Mississippi and head southwest to Blue Earth, Minn., to grab a photo with the Jolly Green Giant. Not hard to hold the title for largest of its kind when it’s probably the only one in the running. The copyright for the mascot is technically owned by the Green Giant Company (now General Mills), which gave approval for the giant but didn’t chip in for its construction. The statue was paid for by the residents and businesses of

Blue Earth, the little town that claims the birthplace of the ice cream sandwich. Near the intersection of Interstate 90 and Highway 169, the Man in Tights has towered 55 feet since 1979. Make sure to climb the 8-foot base and pose next to his size 78 shoes. The Jolly Green is lit at night, so there’s no excuse for skipping this fabulous photo op.

The only thing this landmark is missing is an audio option to hear that infamous “Ho, ho, ho.”

Giant Garden Gnome, Kerhonkson, N.Y.

OK, so technically this 13-foot, 6-inch gnome isn’t winning world or national records (Poland’s 18-foot gnome holds the world record and Iowa’s 15-footer holds the national record), but it would hold a state record, if one existed. What it lacks in titles, it makes up for in fun. “Gnome Chomsky” greets visitors of Kelder’s Farm who are looking for some miniature golf or a chance to milk a cow by hand. The 100-acre farm also features a petting zoo, corn mazes and birthday parties for the kids as well as veggies for sale. Built as a tribute to the garden gnome that was included in the first mini-golf course, this concrete cutie was originally constructed in Manhattan, but made the trip north for his permanent resiw w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

More than 10,000 travelers annually swing through Blue Earth, Minn. (pop. 3,353), to snap a photo with the Jolly Green Giant. dence. Who says everyone retires down South? Grabbing a photo with the Gnome Chomsky is free, but the mini golf is going to cost you. $3.75 to be exact.

World’s Largest Dinosaurs, Cabazon, Calif.

Fans of “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” will recognize this roadside attraction right away but even non-Pee-Wee fans can’t miss these monsters, designed by Claude K. Bell, a sculptor for Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Vista, Calif., in the 1960s. Bell’s dream was to create something bigger than life and bring in people to his Wheel Inn Café. What better way to attract customers than a 65-foot T-Rex named Mr. Rex and a 150-ton, 150 foot-long brontosaurus named Dinny? Although we now know that the brontosaurus never existed and is actually the apatosaurus, we’re going to feign ignorance for nostalgia. It’s rumored that the painting of Dinny was done for a buck and a case of Dr Pepper. Mr. Rex originally had a slide built into his tail, but it was later filled in with concrete. You can still climb up the T-Rex and take in the view from the mouth. There’s a gift shop and an outdoor maze connected to the attraction as well.

World’s Largest Buffalo Monument, Jamestown, N.D.

North Dakota is 90 percent farmland and home to a disproportionately high number of large statues. They even have a stretch of road called the Enchanted Highway that features large metal sculptures. While the state boasts a giant cow, a turtle and a sandhill crane, there’s still nothing more North Dakotan than a buffalo. The giant “tatanka” was commissioned in 1959 as a way to attract visitors, and not too surprising, the town is now known as the Buffalo City. At 26 feet tall and 46 feet long, the bison was named Dakota Thunder in 2010 after going nameless for more than 50 years. The anatomically correct male buffalo is perched on a hill overlooking Frontier Village, a recreated 19th century prairie town that includes the writer’s shack of western writer Louis L’Amour, a Jamestown native. w w w. p t c c h a l l e n g e . c o m

Ready, Set, Go

BY Rick Hardy

Alarm wakes me up Time to start my day.

Where did I sleep last night Pilot or Flying J?

Breakfast sounds good, Hot cakes in Montana Or just enough time To peel a banana.

I could be at a shipper Backed into a door Or in the parking lot Of a Walmart store.

I thank the good Lord For mercy and blessings Am I on the right road Do I have good directions?

Was traffic real heavy And time running short?

A rest area ramp Would be a last resort.

HOW TO PLAY: The Japanese puzzle “Sudoku” tests reasoning and logic. To solve the puzzle, fill in the grid above so every row, every column and every 3-block by 3-block box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. No math is needed. The grid has numbers, but nothing has to equal anything else.

These are the faces of Pilot Flying J who have excelled in customer service

Amber Brumbaugh and Russ Wilbur • Northfield, Minn.

A customer wrote in, “When Amber and Russ at the Northfield, Minn., Pilot Flying J heard about the lousy birthday my husband was having, these troopers went into action. While he was fueling up, they packed up all sorts of goodies from their delicious hot case, including his favorites, mac and cheese, pepperoni pizza and Reese’s pie. It was the best surprise when he came in to pay and they not only presented him with the meal but also serenaded him ‘Happy Birthday’ with the help of another employee, Jenna.

What a great birthday present and what a great bunch of folks at the Northfield Flying J!”

Driver Profile:

Joseph McGovern ’m a company driver for Celadon and drive mostly the Midwest, the Carolinas, and the Virginias. I’m from San Marcos, Texas, and am a divorced father of two teenage boys, Chris and Zach. I’ve used the Pilot MyRewards and Flying J Frequent Fueler cards for more than 10 years now. I don’t have a particular Pilot Flying J that I frequent more than others, nor do I have a favorite. I enjoy using most all of them.

I’ve really enjoyed using the loyalty program over the years. It’s gotten me out of some tight spots when I was low on money. I’ve used the points to purchase a meal, get coffee, showers ... you name it. It’s an awesome program.

I particularly like that you get free items from time to time. For example, when I buy nine coffees, the 10th one is free. I enjoy the promotions they run and the occasional sweepstakes entry every time I use my Pilot MyRewards card too.
