Day Two!

Today we were able to make it all the way to Brookings, Nebraska! Our day began with a 5am alarm waking us up to head over to the airport. We were up in the air and flying by 7am towards Rawlings, Wyoming. We were fortunate to get in before the winds really picked up. After a quick snack and visit with our friends we met at the FBO, we headed out to Spearfish, South Dakota. Coming in hot over the Black Hills of South Dakota, we landed in Spearfish and spent a couple hours on the ground reviewing weather and stretching our legs (or more like our stomaches). There were quite a few teams resting inside and cooling off inside the airport FBO. We had the chance to relax and eat with our Daytona team as well as a team that we first encountered at this airport on our way up to Pasco last week (Classic 38). Eventually, our rest time had to come to an end and we made our way to the plane to get up and over to Brookings, South Dakota. With plenty of time left before sunset, we landed and decided to call it a day, as there are some pretty big storms brewing around us. We also decided to hangar the airplane... just in case. Food, a shower and bed are the only priorities we have tonight. Tomorrow we will be up and at it again trucking through the last half of this crazy race!
