TeamD Adventures

So the story is out on Car 11’s ill-fated attempt to make the Arctic Circle. Sadly disappointed, we were quickly cheered up by our teammate’s willingness to take us on board so that we could at least make the ultimate journey north.

Here’s how much things have changed on the Alcan: TeamD and Friends writing, editing, and sharing photos in the El Dorado Bar just two minutes ago:

Moving further into the Yukon, we are now in the town of Dawson City, site of the big gold rush in the late 1800’s.

Started the day with a short TSD outside of Whitehorse, then off to a new location for a slalom on a lake outside of town. The event on the Yukon was cancelled due to lack of freezure. (is that a word). Anyway, the ice on Fish Lake was quite froze, and very very slippy. Imagine an ice rink after it’s been zamboni’ed and you’ll have an idea.

Grimy is the road to Whitehorse, especially when the temps are well above freezing. Today’s early start at 0600 in Ft. St. John seemed like it would stay cold, but it didn’t last. A nice long TSD section on some interesting roads, paved and unpaved, had rallyists scratching their heads over the advisability of passing on uphill hairpin turns. From the sounds of it, most selected safety over a good checkpoint time. It will be interesting to see if that part of the section is scored later as the amount of traffic on that section of road affected quite a few cars. The rest was great, though.
