I kinda had a hunch earlier today that he wouldn't be in a motorcade. 1) The extent of road closures around the fairgrounds was one block in either direction, for only an hour before AF1 touched down. 2) I drove around the entire area at lunch. Other than 2 large sheriff's command buses in the fair parkinglot, there was absolutely no ground activity. Not a single cop car on the street. Not what I'd expect for prepping a major street for a motorcade.
I was in a meeting when the choppers came by.
But on the off chance I was wrong, and the choppers were the diversion, I headed to the nearest overpass anyway. Hell, it was pretty unlikely that even if they were driving that they'd get off at the most obvious exit, but at least it was high ground, so I'd see it coming. But, as is now obvious, nowhere to be seen.
Kinda exciting anyway.
