With great fanfare we depart Winnemucca , NV with friends and family braving the freezing cold morning to send us off.

A beautiful flight through Oregon and on into Pasco, WA where the race will start on Tuesday .

Happy to land safe and sound. The race partners did not get divorced yet.  It looks promising that they will finish the race as friends.

If the racers should ever have an emergency and land off airport, they can always  use Heather's shoes as a beacon!
