Day 65

After 65 days and over 4,000 miles, the team will cross the Alaskan border this morning! Right now, we are only 19 miles away from customs. This is our first and only border to cross with the Sierra team and it has turned into a race between Rockies and Sierra riders. This is the first state this year that Rockies girls have participated in a border race. It should be fun, but mostly I am excited to take a team picture at the Alaska sign!

We've been camping a lot lately. It has rained the past two nights but luckily our tent has stayed dry both times. Yesterday morning half the team woke up soaking wet and floating in a puddle. If you stay dry, camping in the rain is actually really nice. It was Sierras first rain all summer!

I haven't had much internet lately and this post will be short, but in 5 days we will be in Anchorage and shortly after I will be able to update with more stories and pictures. My mom, James, and brother Sam will be in Anchorage and so will Daniel for a couple days before flying back to Denver to start Law School! I am a little sad for the summer to end, but excited for the next few days and my time in Alaska.  Will write more soon. As always, thanks for all of your support!
