The 2012 Cains Quest is now History. Details of the winners and Teams scratched can be found here by clicking on the Link.  

My Cousin and her Husband,Team 39 made it to the Finish Line. Coreen made History by being the first woman to compete in that competition and to be able to finish in an event which usually sees more then 50 %  of the Teams drop out before it's over is quite an accomplishment. Info at times was hard to get, but each Team could be tracked all the way through the Journey by following the GPS Trackers on the Machines. Unfortunately CBC covered it like most other stories from Labrador. With very little or no coverage. An event such as this deserves much more coverage and hopefully the folks in Labrador will send their voices of disapproval straight to CBC in St. Johns.

My cousins running the Quest have made it through another day. 14 Teams scratched and now they have a 16 hour lay over at a Check Point in Quebec. Early tomorrow morning they make the rush for home.

Day 3 of Cains Quest. 12 Teams scratched and it must be quite the ordeal now on the Teams and Machines. Team 39 had trouble with a Suspension Bolt earlier in the morning which cost them time but are now racing towards Nain. Go Cousins Go !

Today is the start of Cains Quest. Canada's longest Snowmobile Endurance Race and I will be tracking it all the way. My Cousin Coreen Paul is competing along with her Husband Jason. For more on Cains Quest,check out the Website.
