What:                  Password management is a serious business, so
                        is multi-factor authentication for financial
                        institutions, and the folks at Portland, Ore.-
                        based Vidoop take it what way. But when the
                        company, which was originally founded in
                        Tulsa, Okla., decided to move its headquarters
                        to Portland, Vidoop founders felt this was the
                        perfect time to express their fun and
                        adventurous side. A six-day road trip that
                        would physically move the company's
                        headquarters and staff was born.

Who:                   Forty-two people, eight pets, five U-HAUL(R)
                        trucks, four RVs, two trailers, two cars, one
                        camera crew and one blueberry bush are en
                        route from Tulsa to Portland. You can follow
