Scouting for ARKZN4

"Good questions" said the Baron, as he put his boots on the table and slugged back the Captain Jack.
"It's rough out there' but d_ _ _n beautiful"
"It's my country, Pure and Precious"
I waited.

"Look it ain't no picnic, but very doable for most levels...and one member can sit out each leg, so choose wisely"
"The choices are just that, not tricks, just choices. I'm not trying to kill anyone...."

" I reckon McCain will take 12 - 14 hrs. They'll be eating supper whilst others are crying"
"This stuff is weak"
I poured him another slug and he slapped the white winter dust off his hat.

'Look" he said, eyes piercing mine.
"I understand that some of these AR types aren't like I am,...perhaps a little soft. So I've made the last leg sort of optional"
"If they turn right they'll be in bed in under 20 minutes. If they do it, it's 3-4 hours in Gods own country"
"Sort of a final short cut, for,... how you say 'Wussies'"
I flinched and joined him in the bottle.

"That's my boy" he said

He paused; "Really it's about people; those drivers are going to meet some awfully interesting folk, like the amazing race they'll have to look sharp to arrive at the rendezvous on time, although the navigation is really easy for the drivers; safety and all that." He rolled his eyes pathetically.

I kicked the chair from under him, but he was already on his feet reaching for the bottle.

He threw a knife at me, but I've known him for years and deflected it into the sink.
"There's not enough balls in the world' he laughed. "This curry is weak"
'It's under the counter" I replied.

"Your in big trouble my boy" he smirked.
"Your lady found the barbel in the bathtub"

Blast. I'd forgotten about them.

"The fishing was good, I hope the paddlers are...."

Not related to the race. It is snow on the mountains though taken this weekend.

Bring a compass, it's awkward when you have to eat your friends.

Fixing an industrial gear with cable ties !
A bit like putting this race together!
The AR isn't the problem, that's easy and participants will have some great fun in great country.
What is fun is planning two races, one for the team and one for the second, part of the team but delegated the vehicle for the leg. If these guys think that they can goof off they have another thing coming. The will be mentally challenged as they move your bikes/boats to the next CP.
But think about it....
Isn't this the chance to get into the longer races?
If your team has a weak link, let them drive more often. No team member can drive two consecutive legs, so there is a chance to get everyone involved.

Looking forward to seeing your strategies.

An Empty Bird bath near start. Deeply meaningful and significant (if you're a bird).

Teams will get an email address which will enable them to publish to the Blog. This is an essential part of the race and teams should practice and set up their phones. More hints and tips on instant blogging to follow.

Followers of the Blog will be able to make comments to the published blogs, but not publish themselves. Well wisher's keep track of the race.
Have to go and fill the Birdbath.
