Final Preps and a Trip Blog

Last night I had the good fortune to watch Hans install a front swaybar and new CV boot on his white Saab 900 while I puttered around doing important stuff like cleaning the dust out of my taillight lenses. Eric came over to give me the big stuff for on top of the rack -- the mount for the spare, the two gas cans, and the associated bits for tying it all down. Even more vital were the two bottles of "The Captain" for our cohorts Nick and Rob to enjoy later on the trip

Today I reinstalled the fog lights, which no longer short out, and gave the car a brief scrub. Waxed some of the front end parts to hopefully defray some of the bug accumulation. I can be irrationally optimistic, can't I?

Eric set up a TeamD blog where we'll both be posting updates while we're on the road. That will keep this space dedicated to droning on about my own car, and leave interesting stuff, including photos and text from a variety of TeamD members, over where it belongs.

So check out the TeamD blog for Alcan updates. If we're motivated, perhaps we'll even post some scores during Alcan as well.
