Phil and I are still hoping for Nepal...

When to go:
Quote
Autumn (mid-September to end-November)
 This is the most popular time to
trek. Generally during autumn, the weather is clear with mild to warm days and
cold nights. However, in the higher altitude, the nights drop into freezing
temperature. In this season, the mountains views are astonishingly clear.

Quote
October to November, the start of the dry season, is in many ways the absolute
best time. With the monsoon only recently finished, the countryside is green and
lush, the air is sparkling clean and the Himalayan views are near perfect.
Furthermore, the weather is still balmy. There are some important and colourful
festivals to enjoy, ...
In December and January the climate and visibility
are still good, though it can get very cold at high altitudes.

I've wanted Nepal for a long time too!
Is Nepal the one with the insane airport?

Nope Bhutan
Oh yeah, Bhutan too.

But there's Lukla in Nepal with that steep, short runaway over a cliff I think it was. That would be fun.

I think a finish in the Motor city would be Amazing.  Ford World headquarters along with The Henry Ford museum, Greenfield Village and the Ford proving grounds are all in the area.  It would be a big shout out to Ford for being such a strong supporter of the Race.  There are infinite possibilities at these sites.

can't forget the Motor City...

There's quite a few rumors out there right now. Only some of them are true.

 :groan:

So take everything you are reading with a grain of salt.

This wait is having me wondering whether they are going to wait until the new year to tape the upcoming season (not February or March or anything, but instead, in January).  It's been a long time since they've taped a new season at the beginning of the year.

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

If we have the finish line in Detroit then I could see the remembering challenge be something like, match the car to the country you used/saw it on the race.

so the rumour said that the Cowboys weren't the only 2-timers considered for a 3rd shot. Other finalists: -Globetrotters -Gary & Mallory. and if Mallory races on All-Stars, it won't be with her father, Gary. She was at finals casting w/ another female racer. if it's true, BROOK & MALLORY would be awesome  :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
Claire can't racing coz she has a baby

They won't be. They made news because of an accident in Honduras yesterday.
Oh.
