To all: The day yesterday ended in a meltdown. Many of the sleds were damaged from the day before and only six riders started the day. We worked with them all day against all odds. There was simply no or little snow. The sledders had to go for half a mile on their metal strips and late at night about 9:30, local time quite and loaded up. Thus, the ride from Michigan to Alaska folded. The group behind us has got to Manitoba and quit their ride.
We are working on a plan to get me home earlier than the 10th of March. It's too bad, things did work out for this historic ride. It would have made the Guiness Book of Records.
It is warm here in BC, probably warmer than Nashville with very little snow - mostly slush.
Documenting the personalities as they emerged/evolved will be the grist of lots of introspection and possibly a story.
That's it for now.
Tom
