This shot was taken by professional photographer Dan Hudson from across the 70 freeway and pretty high up the hill.  None of us knew why the tents were spread out so far apart when we arrived at our Vail campsite after finishing our Day 5 - 23.4 mile run - UNTIL we saw Dan's cool photo in that nights slide show!  I added some notations.  Note that our buddy Lambert drove in early every day and snagged Steve & I the best tent locations!  Off to the left and missing in Dan's photo is one of the most IMPORTANT features of the Transrockies race - THE MOBILE HOT SHOWER (a converted truck trailer)!The left side had 10 booths for the guys and the right side had (I have no clue?) for the women.

In a sweaty runner, out a sweet-smelling lady.
