We made it!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2004

All of TeamD made it back home safe and as sound as we were when we left (how sound that is is up for debate). Thanks for all of the support from our families, friends and fans, your good wishes really helped us along the way! The 323GTX contingent of TeamD will be posting some pictures and stories asap, so check back soon.

The Beaver Creek Pad

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

Our first day out of Anchorage and we’re in Beaver Creek, Yukon, barely one mile into Canada. Oddly the Canadian customs agent stamped our passports. In all the times I’ve entered Canada they’ve never stamped it.

But the coolest thing about Beaver Creek is that we totally lucked out on a place to stay. We called and stopped at the 1202 Motor Inn which is one of only a few structures in Beaver Creek. After telling him we needed three rooms with two bed each he said “how about a house?” He took us outside and pointed to the stairs at the end of the porch and said to take a look, “it’s nice and I’ll make you a good deal.”

We ended up with two ajoining apartments that run the full length of the log cabin that is the restaurant and store below. We have four king beds, a queen, and two twins. Three bathrooms, two sitting areas with satellite TV and two nicely equipped kitchens. All for $130 Canadian! It is an awesome setup.



Spreading The Rally Word

Before leaving Anchorage, Eric answered questions from throngs of curious citizens. They were very interested in TeamD and all the cool technology in our sharp looking rally car.
