B Vans are up and on the road...

Well at least the Team 1 van is... Got an unexpected call from Dave O telling us a leg was way shorter than expected and that we needed to get our butts in gear and on the road earlier than we planned. Loss of 30 min of sleep, ugh.

Molly is ready to go!

B Van's are off the road

Grabbing some showers and siesta time...

Quick debrief on the last 5 Legs before Van B departs and Van A is on the clock.

Van 1's are awake...

...begrudgingly. A hot shower and 2 hrs in a warm bed makes it hard to spunk up for our last legs.

Leg 19/20 Exchange



Exchange point at 2:45am MST

Team #1: Craig is in and Cameron is on the road. Van B to A Exchange Point is next!
