At least for me the Spotwalla thing seems to have quit working.

Looks like they are heading West, after resting in Dawson City. Tuk is hard, even when not on the clock.If they are, it's unlikely they will make it to Greenville on time. They may have just figured out they are DNF either way. Not making the bonus that allowed you to skip CP 2/mandatory bonus is DNF. Time barred is DNF.
West is to Chicken over TOW Hwy. I suspect they were waiting for conditions to improve. Riding an FJR. Not exactly the tool for mud/snow/gravel, thought lord knows I've done plenty of that on a FJR. 3 hours after it stops raining the TOW is dramatically improved.Looks like they are heading West, after resting in Dawson City.

Still seems to be working fine for me.
Of increasing note is that riders are cutting bonuses to get back on time. Both in leg one and two. This speaks mainly of how slow the roads are that they are going down for bonus locations. This will continue for the third leg, so time will tell if they are learning to plan better, understanding that it's taking longer than what their mapping software is telling them to get in and out of these locations.
Of the 20 or so riders not on the public spotwalla page, at least one went North on Leg 2. One of the riders for leg 3 appears to have left early, probably losing points for the rest bonus in order to get down the road to a large bonus that requires more time.
You know I have tried that Sotwalla and it is really a pain in the butt to navigate and keep from crashing. I gave up on it years ago. With my SPOT device I have really good luck with the good old SPOT Share location services. It might not help for this IB Rally, but something to think about in the future. Very stable and OK/help buttons are almost instant received after they are sent. This with my Gen 3. I'm still waiting for the SPOT X bugs to be worked out before getting one.Yes have tried refreshing many times but nothing seems to change. Everything else seems to be working fine, it’s only the public Spotwalla link that doesn’t seem to be working for me, it hasn’t worked since last night.
Did you try another browser? I kept running across sites Internet Explorer couldn't open, so now I'm using Google Chrome more and more.Yes have tried refreshing many times but nothing seems to change.

There are no Mexico bonuses. That doesn't mean there are not bonuses very close to the border though. There are one or two Mexican riders in this year's IBR, IIRC.Looks like maybe a bunch of them are going to cross into Mexico.
4284 miles in 72 hours of riding. Possible? There are 77.5 hours left before DNF. Possible, but unlikely. Sleep, gas stops, unknowns. If the bonus they got in AK was one of the ones you had to have to skip the second stop in Kennewick, that was a big risk.Someone is facing big miles from pretty near Anchorage to Greenville. 4200 miles, to Friday morning. Is this even possible?
