Jon and racers
We crawled into Wamsutter on the ice at 9:00 pm friday after leaving the
salt at 3:00.
Spent the night on the gym floor at the school. Going to take weeks for
the sore spots to go away. Made it to Rawlings at 9:00 am. All roads
closed. Must have been 3:00pm when the gates went up for 220 northbound.
The 120 miles to Casper was a SOB. 4 to 6 inches of packed snow and ice,
blowing snow, 0 visibility at times. Got to Lusk and the roads were dry
and it was on home to southwest minnesota. Would do it all again to see
another pass like the burkland streamliner. 438 with 450 out the
back.WOW. We happened to be at the 3 1/2 mile for it. By the 1/2 mile
you knew it was going to be flat out fast.
Hope everyone makes it home in one piece.
