The 2006 GBES Rally is over and we survived! Team R & R Jeepsters (Mike, Cynthia, Linda, Larry) started the weekend Friday night as we followed a route and found caches in the dark. Mike was the driver and did a great job. Linda and Larry found caches and I coordinated all the GPS units. Saturday morning we were back for the grueling day rally. Again we followed a specified route and found caches hidden in the desert. This time I got to get out of the jeep and run for caches too. Some parts were fun, but some were VERY challenging. After 8 hours of climbing mountains, navigating rock filled roads, traveling down creekbeds and fording streams, ALL of us were very glad to hit pavement. This was our second year as a team. Last year we placed 5th. This year we decided to be in the non-competitive class so we could just enjoy the scenery and ride. One thing we discovered is that no matter what we are competitive. For next year the big question is “will we be back”. Time will tell. The picture shows our routes. The yellow line is the night course, the red line is the day course.
