LOTOJA

this may be the only time Doug has every been thankful for the ole minivan

the finish line - Doug placed 17th in the Cat 5 group with a finishing time of 10 hours 29 minutes (that included 2 flat tires)...
WAY TO GO BABE!!

Andy (my brother-in-law) and I were Doug's support crew for the race. I was not super excited about this but ended up having a great time and was so excited to see Doug cross the finish line. He did awesome and was even able to walk the next day.

Of course special thanks to:
Andy - had a blast being support crew with you, thanks for coming along and seeing the beautiful states of Idaho and Wyoming with me. Of course who wouldn't want to sleep on the floor of the HoJo and spend 16 hours in the car with their favorite sister-in-law. Thank you for also being our official camera man and heavy equipment transporter.
Nana & Papa - Thanks for watching the boys they had a blast. You always offer your help and support and we appreciate it.
The Taylor Clan - for keeping me updated on news from home. Would have been freaking out but was able to enjoy myself because I knew the situation at home was well in hand.

Way to go Doug! Dave kept texting Andrew to see how everything went. Dave and I talked about going to see Doug, which would've been fun, but I was on call. We are really proud of him!
