We had a tough rally day, today. After 8 wearying hours spent connecting the odo in the 103 heat yesterday and 5 hours of sleep, we hoped the external mount would stay on the wheel. Managed to find a tire repair place just as they were closing in Globe. To compound matters, the near bald tires spin in gravel and the DSC is working against us. Not sure how the tires will fare the rest of the rally. But on a brighter note, we crossed a ford with running water! The scenery is so unlike the verdant NW. Cactuses and rattlesnakes are everywhere! My hair is straight from lack of humidity.

sorry to hear of the rough first day. Making the transition to hot weather should give you a No Alibi advantage, though!
