DAY 9: Beautiful. | |||||
First
stage yesterday? Turns out we got best score. |
(at
breakfast) Got the official word about yesterday's first stage.... turns
out we got the best score in the rally on that section. We managed to
get back on time before the next checkpoint. Whooooo-hooo! (does happy

Still heading south into Jasper. The hills around us are rising into mountains,
spectacular ones. That dramatic tension which has propelled us day in
and day out for nine days and 5000 miles is giving way to euphoria. No
need any more to get down the road - we enter the park and stop often
to enjoy the views and wildlife.![]() ![]() |
(later) Okay, the awards banquet. Jerry Hines, rally chairman, runs down
the media coverage of the 2002 Alcan, and it's pretty impressive: web
stories in the Lifestyles section of Forbes.com, with a print article
to follow; a piece for NPR's "Savvy Traveler" filed by radio
host Patricia Murphy of Seattle; a video documentary feature (an hour
long, probably) on SpeedVision, to be released in December; this website.![]() ![]() |
