Follow your intrepid adventurers on day two of the 2007 Thunderbird Rally as they try to forget yesterday’s clock errors, magnetic ditches, and wrong turns. Marvel at their ability to stumble on in the face of overwhelming indifference after a lackluster day 1. Await, with baited breath, more live blogging entries. Dear reader, you are in for more of the same.
Usually a lucky number. Not so lucky when your clock is off by 7 seconds all day. Not lucky at all.
Our fault for not double-checking. That little error kicks us quite a way back in the pack. It’s the difference between 4th and 11th.
On the final section with only 8km remaining Steve and Eric take a holiday from forward momentum.
Eric can describe what happen much better than I since we were parked before I knew why the snow was up to my window.
But basically we were stuck in a ditch for twenty minutes until a kind fellow ralllyist tugged us free.
The front spoiler might be a bit more bent and so might Eric’s ego. 🙂
We’re headed into Vernon, BC to finish the day up. No we hav to agree on whether it was an extra terrestrial or a phantom logging truck that knocked us into the ditch.

Sections 2 and 3 saw mud and more mud. Bountiful challenges for both driver and navigator.
The slick mud, lubricated ice and twisty roads kept Eric on his toes and the ever changing surfaces kept me tweaking the computer to keep the mileages correct.
We’re headed into the “lunch” break with more than half of the rally day behind us.
