TeamD Adventures

Ahhhh, after a grueling day yesterday on the South Canol, today was easy!  We dropped off the flat tire at the local tire store and ran Long Lake TSD out of Whitehorse. We did this section on the Winter 2008 AlCan.  I had made careful notes of important things!  But we almost managed to miss the turn before the hospital again.  We did well.  Our score on the section was lower than any other team.  We have closed the gap on  Car 2 by 2 points, (5 behind now not counting drops).

After the TSD, we picked up the tire on the way out of town.  The tire place was able to repair it.  Car #1 had to buy to new tires for a total cost of $550. We felt lucky to part with only $22 to fix the tire.

We drove to Dawson Creek  YT, a neat mining town. Reminds me of Cripple Creek and Durango, CO.    Looked for a geocache with no success.

Tomorrow it’s a new TSD called Midnight Dome.  We know the road well, wink.  Then it’s off to Whitehorse, again.

Starting to check for Aurora Borealis status to see if we might get to see it.   Our hotel staff will wake us if it becomes active.   We might take them up on the offer.  It’s 10:15pm at night and light enough outside to drive without lights on.
