The Turn at Tracer Brook

In the Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run there is an aid station at about 60 miles called Tracer Brook. When you get there, you have been running south all day. At Tracer Brook, you make the turn north towards the finish. You are no longer going away; you are going home. It’s still a hell of a long way but you are now going in the right direction. It is a huge milestone in the race.

We made the Tracer Brook turn when we left Tuktoyaktuk . We have been travelling roughly North since leaving Florida and after 3 months on the road we have reached the farthest north one can drive in North America, Tuktoyaktuk, North West Territories Canada!

We made the turn at Tracer Brook! We are headed South!

Our toes in the Arctic Ocean.

  1. Yes, your endurance abilities , in running or exploring, are of the highest order.
    I am enjoying my vicarious trip.

    1. Yes, there was a heat wave up here! 90s!
      The next week is cold and showery, so our little toes will be chilly again.

    1. Hi Erika! Did your dad loose his phone? He hasn’t been answering texts.
      How was the 100 mile?

  2. Woot, woot!! Just a few days late for turning at Tracer Brook – you’ve missed the cutoff 🙁 but head south anyway. We’re holding down the proverbial fort.
