Dawn begins to light up the world in central Pennsylvania during our drive to Cleveland.
We've been on the road for roughly seven hours now.

We're having breakfast at Denny's.  Jason is sneezing.

Chris takes over the driving after breakfast.

John, Steve and the back of Andy's head.

Jason looks like he's got a little Mohawk going on.

Bruce enjoy's a cigar on the ride.

Our Patriots bear sits on the Jets bear's head.  There's never
a bad time to deface and humiliate a Jets bear.

John, Steve and Andy enjoy the ride as Jason snoozes in the background.

Bruce is chillin' and listening to his iPod.

Now Jason REALLY looks like he's sportin' a Mohawk.

Andy looks to be holding up well.

Steve smiles for the camera.

Chris continues his shift behind the wheel.

Refueling not very far from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.  We're in the heart of Steeler
country right now.  We didn't see any shadow-checking rodents, though.

We saw a lot of truck stops on the way.

Andy practices safe smoking habits by enjoying a cigarette
right next to the refueling Short Bus.

Andy strikes the first blow by absconding with this Pittsburgh
Steeler decoration from the truck stop.

Whoa!  Bruce is looking tired.  It's been a long night of traveling.  Jason is driving now.

We've made it to Ohio!

This is a "proof of trip" photo.

Another, just in case.

A rest area somewhere in Ohio.

Getting closer to Cleveland!

A view from the Short Bus of the Cleveland skyline.

Another view of Cleveland during the drive in.

Here is fuzzy photo of Cleveland at night as seen from a moving Short Bus.

Bruce shows his Patriotic spirit.

On Saturday we headed down to the Professional Football Hall of Fame
in Canton, Ohio.  It was about an hour ride from our hotel.

Our home page cover photo shows the whole gang in
front of the Hall of Fame in Canton.

I took this one so my man, John Waltz (the Browns fan in the middle) could be in it.

Here we have Fawcett Stadium next to the Hall of Fame.  This is where
the annual Hall of Fame pre-season game is played.

The iconic Hall of Fame sign.

Inside the Hall of Fame now.

How do you do a caption for a caption?

An old football uniform.

Andy stands next to a display about Tom Brady.

This is the Vince Lombardi Trophy that will be awarded to the winner of Super Bowl XLV
to be played in Dallas, Texas on February 6, 2011.

This is display honoring the Patriots' NFL best ever 21 game winning streak.

In case you live in cave, here's a more complete explanation.

Here's the inside of the display.

There was a replica of every championship ring in the HOF.

An exhibit on officiating.

When we came out of the Hall of Fame, there was a crowd
around the Short Bus checking her out.

The crowd around the Short Bus.

We ran out of time and didn't get to go in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.
We figured we'd get a picture of the Short Bus in front of it, though.

The Short Bus is stopped for a photo op in front of Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The Short Bus is parked in front of our hotel as it is readied for battle.

The flags are flying in salute to the U.S.A!

Here's big old ship in port with the stadium in the background.

This is the view we had from our tailgate parking spot.  Not bad.

A Cleveland Browns "Long Bus!"

Tailgating on the shores of Lake Erie.  Literally.

Fans mingle at the beginning of what would become an epic tailgate party.

The empties piled up fast.

Still waiting on most of our tailgaters.

A side view of our Cleveland set-up.

Bruce enjoys the view.

Just another scenic photo.

John's hoping for Browns win.   He'd get it.

Our tailgate on the left, that big ship and the stadium on the right.

A view from the rocks.

These fans invited us over for "upsidedown margaritas".  Yum.

Chris begins would become a long line of funnelers (is that even a word?)

d

Damien is waiting for his turn.

More eating and drinking!

Here's a group shot of the Boston Ski & Sports Club members who attened the game.

I think there was funnelling going on here.

Dennis enjoys an adult beverage the fast way.

Dennis, I forgot your friend's name!  Is it Stan?  Let me know so I can give him proper credit for this funnel.

More fans enjoy the funnel.

The funnel awaits it's next victim.

This gentleman did 36 ounces at once.

I only did 12 ounces at once.

What was her name again?  Eager fans want to know!

Andy takes a turn.

Some of these Browns fans aren't half bad!

Down the hatch!

...and another...

...and another...

...and yet another!

On our way in to the game.

Now I know what the term "a veiw to a kill" means.

The sun sets on over Lake Erie not very long after it set on the Patriots.

Chris has a sad face.  I'm not sure why.  Po' thing.

Jason listens to his iPod on the long ride home from Cleveland.  Unless the NFL screws us
again with the scheduling we'll be headin' back to Buffalo in 2011.  Hope to see you there!
