Steve's Update

Scratch that, I just got a text from Steve.

He said that they just finished, and had a really tough day. They lost their serpentine belt at kilometer 40, lost an alternator at kilometer 279, and Steve dug the Hummer out of the sand for about three hours. These delays put them behind a lot of big trucks, making the rest of the stage even harder. The fact that there was just a text sent shows how long of a day this was on Steve. Hopefully the bivouac will be quiet tonight and he can get some good rest for tomorrow's stage. Saturday will be the rest day, which is going to be much needed. Here is a video of the Steve from today's stage:

Talk to you all tomorrow!
