The road they were stopped on was under contruction (you may have noticed), so what had been 2 lanes in each direction was now 1 lane in each direction and 2 lanes empty.

hopefully someone else may enjoy that.... it was fun in the three days of making.
After all that is in the video we spent the next day dropping the entire tank out of the van in a NAPA parking lot in St Cloud to change the real fuel pump and put stuff back to normal working order. Of course the tank was full of 30 gallons of gas when we needed to drop it.
That evening we stopped in Minneapolis and somehow met a waitress at a tai restaurant that knew Amy Feistel and her family from Taiwan.
Thursday morning Andrew flew out of MN and I started the drive home. Around Cincinnati at about 2am I was half asleep and started smelling transmission. I stopped and went to sleep in the van hoping it was all just a dream. The next morning the van wouldn't do over 20mph up a hill and the transmission was smelling worse and worse. As a last ditch effort to try something I pulled in to a car parts store and put Lucas anti slip in the trans and somehow it worked a miracle and made the trans pull again. It would still slip pretty easily but I was able to mostly maintain interstate speeds while staring at the tach watching for/avoiding slippage.
Whew, what a journey home that was... thanks Andrew!
