Voyager 2 (V2) measures the plasma parameters in the outer heliosphere. The solar wind speed decreased and dynamic pressure was constant and relatively low in 2005. We use these data to predict the motion of the termination shock (TS) and show that V2 may be close to the TS. V2 has begun to observed upstream particles from the TS; we discuss the relationship between these observations and the plasma. Next we discuss the relationship between crossings of the magnetic current sheet and peaks in the energetic particle flux. Ulysses is near the same heliolatitude at V2 at this time; we use a model to propagate the Ulysses data to the distance of V2. We find the speed may have slowed more than predicted.
