Stage 5 - Baker to Vegas at about 3pm on Saturday

Stage 5 - 8 am Sunday Morning. Where did everbody go?

It just wouldn't be an outing if I didn't get stuck in the sand.

Lucky for me Paul, K6EH had lots of tools and toys to help get me out. Between him and Kent's 4 wheel drives I got back on solid ground.

Stephanie and Barbara man (staff) the new chip timing device used to capture the runners time.

Carl has been doing this for 18 years and is timing the pass off of the baton.

Laura (Right) and Vicki rest up for there turn at the timing station.

Traffic was heavy with runners, It is amazing how many people are involved.

Here is a runner coming into the chute.
