Jeff put together a great Google maps map of exactly where we drove on day 1 taken from data collected in his GPS:

As time permits more maps will be added and more data will be added to them (we might even change the color of the route line).
Another bit of tech trivia from the TeamD Garage. There are three bolts of each type and you need them to be identical but 1cm longer. (If I were better organized I would know the lengths!) There is an awesome hardware store in Seattle called Stone Way Hardware that stocks a wide selection of grade 12 metric bolts. Remove the old thin guibo and also the centering plate. Toss those out. Then install the new thicker guibo with your new bolts.
This weekend is the annual No Alibi TSD rally, put on by the Rainier Auto Sports Club (RASC).
(Disclaimer: Members of Team D are also members of Rainier Auto Sports Club .
We’re excited to announce that Yakima (www.yakima.com) will be coming along with TeamD for the 2008 Alcan 5000 winter rally. providing safe and secure storage options and light mounts for the vital supplies that we’ll need as we journey north of the Arctic Circle in February.
