CB300: En Route To Sourdough Checkpoint

I just wanted to let you know that I got a follow-up call from Brdigett in which she said that the teams are en route to Sourdough and that she is on her way there as well. Sadly, there is no cell phone service in Sourdough, so we will all be "in the dark" for a while. The "plan" is that after Allen leaves Sourdough, Bridgett will drive down here to Glennallen and we will have a little confab to catch up and figure out something for the finish sometime this afternoon.

You may have all seen the route map of the Copper Basin 300 Mile Sled Dog Race before, but I have included it here because I think it may help explain some of the logistical issues that we are dealing with. Keeping in mind that the teams run on the purple lines and we all drive on the orange lines -- and that there's really no accurate way to predict how long it will take either mode of transport to travel each segment -- I think you can see why it's not easy to co-ordinate meetings, let alone hi-tech updates in low-tech terrain!

So, it may be a while until the next update, but we'll do what we can! Stay tuned!...
