St. Paul, Minn. — Hundreds of thousands of people have descended on the nation's capitol for Barack Obama's inauguration tomorrow.

The Web site Craig's List had plenty of local postings from Obama fans hoping to catch a ride with fellow "history chasers" heading to the big event.

Minnesota Public Radio producer Sasha Aslanian asked some of them to check in from the road, and they shared their thoughts with MPR.
