The end is in sight!!!!

 It looks like we might actually finish this race!!!  Of course that's assuming that Randy makes it in this morning!!!  He left on the 29 mile trail at 9:10am and I expect he will be back by 2 and a half hours.

Yesterday at noon we left Alpine and went north following a huge reservoir up and down and up and down, then down into a valley, then back up into a pass then back down into a valley where we are now -Driggs Idaho-  we spent the nite in the parking lot of the fairgrounds and I was even able to go watch some horses training in the arena - this one girl who was training for barrel racing brought her own collapsible barrels!!!! then she proceeded to set them up while sitting on her horse!!!!  Then this morning we made the 1/2 hour trip to the trailhead  - it's been snowing steadily and should make the trip back the way we came treacherous!!!  We have to go back by way of Alpine, through the pass to Jackson and then another hour north of Jackson to tomorrow's race site.  When you think of driving on a pass through the mountains   you would think it would be relatively flat.............no so here.........lots of steep grades and twisting and turning!!!!!!

Good run (not excellent) today - Randy is 18th overall and 19th today!!!
