Wow.  It snowed last night, and a little bit this morning.  Nothing sticking, just really light flurries, but still….it’s May.  Kind of makes you excited to get up and race, doesn’t it?

Yup, it’s the infamous race day.  Complete with high intensity relay hand offs.

I’ll let you enjoy this sampling of the action without smartass comments. 

It was an awesome competition.  See saw action, but in the end my group lost by about 50 m.  I was reelin’ em in, but I just ran outta track.   The locals were amused, but then again, they’re easily amused.

As we are at Granite City, it’s time for a picturesque shot at sunset.  This is hands down the best campsite of the trip.

Plus, we get to do the tour of the ghost town and cemetery.  I think I actually caught a ghost in this shot.

Look how scared the boys are…

I like how they all start to huddle together as it gets darker.

Another low light shot of our camp, as the crew beds down for their last night out.

Of course, as is tradition, the guides stayed up a little later to celebrate another great trip.
