1998 Region 11 , June 24, 1998 - Contest Day 1


Finally a contest day!  Up through 2pm the lift was far weaker than expected,
 and most people had to re-light. John Good (FS) was seen re-filling with water
 before his re-light, to the on-lookers' puzzlement.  The task was then scaled
 back to the same as yesterday, Eden - Stowe - Eden, 59 miles.  But later in
 the day the lift got better for a while, and John Good smoked them all away.
 Alas the short task devalued the day.
