Will have spent 1/2 of the weekend in the car. Left SC at 6:40 AM and arrival at home will be almost 1:00 AM. Took a slightly longer route traffic has not been bad but what a long day. Won't attempt this much distance in one day again. We stop often (quick stops) but this is too long a time in a car. We wanted a full day at home before going back to work so we decided to do the one day drive

A friend of mine was also traveling back from the same area. They left about an hour later, took a different route, sat in a lot of traffic on 95 N and had about an hour less on the road than we did. At least we kept moving with only a few minor delays.

^ Looks like rain is going to make mud a factor in the race this weekend, to add to all the other obstacles. At least it will be an event to remember for the team!
"Overnight relay runners love the Smoky Mountain relay, which was patterned after the famous Hood to Coast relay (12-person, 2-van team) in the Pacific Northwest. As a team member, you will experience the 212 miles of trails, forest service, and rural county roads that traverse this beautiful area. The overnight relay run starts at Pink Beds Park in Brevard, NC and ends at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, NC. The Smoky Mountain Relay course takes runners through some of the most beautiful, pristine, and challenging terrain in the Southeast. Along the route runners will see the magnificent granite dome of Looking Glass and spectacular views from the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Mountain to Sea trail."
