Danny & the Van
Danny and the Medworks Van – The Journey from Coast to Coast
This is a travelogue (remember those?) of how our Customer Support Rep, Danny Foxx, traversed from the East Coast to the West, driving a Medworks van all the way across country. Danny serves Medworks in our Western Territory of northern Idaho, Montana, Washington State, and Alaska. He calls Coeur d'Alene, ID home, but as you can imagine, his job involves a lot of driving. Hauling lasers across these western states requires a specially equipped van, which is exactly what Danny flew out to Virginia to retrieve. Now the adventure begins!
Danny and the van left Virginia on Danny's birthday, Saturday, August 20th. Six hundred miles later, they arrived in Nashville, TN for some great music and food. Taking in
the sights of downtown Nashville led to a drive by of the beautiful Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans.
The next day the journey continued as they made their way to St. Louis, MO. There, they visited both the Gateway Arch and the major league stadiums. Having lived in Texas, Danny was compelled to try some famous St. Louis BBQ. It did not disappoint!
By Monday, it was on to Rapid City, SD for some much-needed rest and recovery. But many miles and a surprise change of plans lay ahead for Danny and the van. After traveling to Bozeman, MT, and then on to Coeur d'Alene, ID (home base). Danny received a call to duty from Will Reynolds, the Director of Sales. Will had learned that Medworks' equipment was needed for upcoming surgeries in Seattle, WA, and Port Angeles, WA (very near the Canadian border) resulting in an unexpected eight-hour detour. Finally on Thursday, August 24th, the sun set on Danny's adventure as he made his way back home to Coeur d'Arlene.
During this adventure, Danny and the Medworks van traveled through 11 states, for a total of 3,546 miles in 56 hours. Well done, Danny!
