On The Beaufort With The Baron
Wednesday, February 25th, 2004Day 6 report — a day late.
Too much happened on Days 5 and 6 to get much out on the Web site. You’ve heard about alternator problems and the subsequent team spirit that got us to the End Of The Road on Day 5. Again, many thanks to Rob and Nick and Steve and Eric for putting up with the two large boys from Car #11.
The Baron’s Audi S4 lacked a co-driver for the day’s trip to Tuktoyaktuk so he asked me to fill in. After a quick breakfast, I joined him in his red ride for the trip up the ice road. “I don’t read too well — I’m dyslexic — and lazy” were his first comments to me that morning.
