Dunmarra

More Travels

Last night we didn't quite make it to Devil's Marbles, and were forced to stop in Barrow Creek due to a lack of 24-hour gas stations in the outback. Since our scout vehicle was low on diesel and would not be able to go any further without a fill-up, we set up our tent a mile away from Barrow Creek, then woke up early to fill up and make it the rest of the way to Devil's Marbles. Once there, we had a great time climbing the rocks! I should note that we had no injuries worse than a few scrapes and cuts.

Our drive north today took us through Tennant Creek, Dunmarra, and all the way to Katherine--all control stops in the race. On the way up, we ran into some members from the MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team. It was nice seeing them once again, as we had not crossed paths since their last visit to Detroit over the summer. Tonight we will be camping at Katherine Gorge National Park, and tomorrow we will get a chance to enjoy the park.
