Summer AlCan 2010 – Day 6
Aug
2010
We started this morning in Dawson City and ran the Midnight Dome TSD. It was a brisk 41 degrees. We’d only seen the section in the snow 2 years ago, so we were surprised to see that it was mostly paved. We’d heard that the section was written in 2006, but that never been run in a rally. After the section, we took the ferry across the Yukon just below where the Klondike joins it over to Top of the World Highway and found a geocache. Usually ferry rides, don’t bother us, but the water was moving so fast, we were both dizzy.
We transited back to Whitehorse, YT. We’ll leave at 6am tomorrow for a 2pm TSD at Tok Junction and then it’s on to Fairbanks. It’s our first time in AK. There are 5 TSDs, one extreme control on the Denali Hwy and one DIY (not scored this time) left in the rally.
We’re sitting at 44 points to 35 in Car 2. This does not include drops for days 5,6,7. We think we’ve figured out why were picking up points. But that is another post.
