Yet Another Try for Bonus Points

The story is: Tam and Ed have reported that Don tried to send them on an expedition. He wanted them to go west to Hastings, pick up a key, change to yet another Art Car, and then drive back to Lincoln to await "further instructions". We didn't get the whole story but it was something about extra points. The details are unclear but Super Ed told Tam that he thought there was something odd about the request so they stayed in Hastings last night and will be trying to get more details from Rex before they "fall victim to one of Don's scams". Sorry, I meant to say "before they headed away from the tour for extra points". By the way, does anyone know what state Rex is in now?
As you can see by the banter, we're having a great time even though family emergencies and mechanical difficulties have arisen. If we're going to have to face uncomfortable situations, we're glad we're in Nebraska with caring people in so many towns and with our friends nearby. Tam and Ed did have to leave the group for a short time but luckily they are back with us and all is well.
