<p>Having a hard time connecting with the Badwater site.  Anyone else?<br><br>
Also, as a side note... does anyone know what's happened with Jamie Donaldson?  She's not at Badwater this year, apparently, and nothing on her blog since Javelina last year.</p>

<p>Live update -- dg1 and I just left Meri, she is at about 52 miles right now, and running very smart and very strong, and plodding along at a nice clip.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She is doing great -- I will pass any messages on when our next shift starts at about 6am!</p>
