By six o’clock eastern time on Friday evening, the fourteen cars and six vans with a lone driver in each had been repositioned to various safe locations within a few miles of where they needed to be the following day. While in the course of that transport from Harrisburg Pennsylvania toward each of the two eastern attack sites, each driver of a car had stopped for purchases of food and water that would be needed by their passengers during the upcoming days. In doing so, they collectively maintained the cover of non-threatening housewives or mothers while also making sure to use cash only for all of their transactions. Before topping off their respective fuel tanks and calling it a night, each of the women driving the escape vehicles had one last task to perform. Within the course of their training in west Texas, each had committed to memory a series of turns, and the distances between them, that would be used for the getaway. Now that burned in knowledge attained by studying maps of cities and towns could be put to practical application via a trial run, and each woman practiced the route that had been provided to them via the advance scouting.

The four or five men within each suburban had used slightly different tactics with regard to repositioning as no supplies were needed, but they had also adhered to cash only purchases during refueling stops or when dining in groups. With a more physically demanding day requiring total focus in front of them, each had been instructed to forgo a late night and the possible opportunity of companionship in order to get a full nights rest.
