I left out NO as well. First the memory goes, then the good looks... ^/^
Can we agree that Dennis was the reason racers were shoved into buses rather than planes or SUVs, or could there be another reason?

Chateau,
The weather delay makes a lot of sense. Hurricane Dennis moved straight up Alabama on Sunday, July 10 as a tropical storm and there were tornado warnings all over the area. If they were scheduled to go to Huntsville that day they wouldn't have been allowed.

Just found this on Jokers:
The Charleston, SC newpaper today gave a few clue's about the reports earlier this summer that contestants were seen in nearby Mt. Pleasant. The report says that 5 families took the same flight on Independance Air from Washington's Dulles airport to Charleston in July.
It appears that one of the clues is located at Charleston's Battery. There are also reports that families were seen running thru the Charleston Visitor's Bureau, complete with camera crews chasing after them. Those two locations are very close to each other. It doesn't make sense that they would find clues in each place. It also didn't appear that they stopped at the Visitor's Bureau; though I can't think of a reason they would be there other than to get a clue. We'll find out soon enough.
As to the Mt. Pleasant connection: the local source said "no comment" to a question asking if the families were involved with shrimp boats. Mt. Pleasant is the area the shrimp boats go out from. If true, that might make for an interesting "aroma" as they travel on to their next destination!

'Amazing Race' leg at Battery
BY PRENTISS FINDLAY
Of The Post and Courier Staff
The third leg of the popular reality show "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" is coming to The Battery when the show airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday on local CBS affiliate WCSC-TV, according to a well-placed source.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Charleston is featured in the Tuesday episode of the eighth edition of the Emmy Award-winning reality show. Typically, the show's route and details of the competition are a highly guarded secret.
"They were around The Battery, which is where they had to go to find one of their clues," the source said. As to a rumor that "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" involved local shrimp boats, the source said, "No comment."
Others were willing to speak on the record about the show. Independence Air spokesman Rick DeLisi said the airline flew five families participating in the reality show from Washington's Dulles airport to Charleston International Airport in July.
"Five of the eight teams chose to fly with us," DeLisi said. "And ultimately they went to Charleston. We're not sure what they did or how much time they spent in Charleston. We were only privy to the details of what was going to happen at our location."
Perrin Lawson, deputy director of the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau, said competing families raced through the CVB during filming of the show in July.
"They literally just ran through the building. It was with the camera crews chasing after them. From what I get from our people, they said it was kind of mayhem and nobody really stopped to ask any questions or anything. They just ran through the building and that was it," Lawson said.

Chateau, if we have a 24 hour weather delay the audience will never know it since the shows are always presented as if there are no delays and that all rest stops are only 12 hours. But with problems with families it may be that there was a 36 hour pit stop (they were camping out after all) on the Middleburg battlefield. Or they may have had word on Hurricane Dennis and just added another 24 hours to the pit stop. Then they would be arriving at IAD between 1 and 3AM Monday morning, July 11. Then arriving in Charlestown at 10AM to do the DIRTY or CLEAN Detour. Finish up in time to take the two buses to Huntsville leaving at 3PM and 6PM.
They arrive in Huntsville between midnight and 4AM, Tuesday, July 12. According to the Huntsville Times story found here:
http://www.al.com/entertainment/huntsville...4210.xml&coll=1
the teams complete their tasks early in the morning in order to have 12 hour pit stop at the Marriott Hotel and then supposedly leave later in the afternoon for Taladega, Alabama via SUV.
There seems now to be only two tasks. (l) the Centrifuge in the Aviation Challenge building. This could be ROADBLOCK. But if it is a roadblock why are two team members in the capsule together?? and (2) after going through the Rocket Park maze they must locate a computer in the Space Museum and complete some AOL sponsored task which tells them how to get to the pit stop at the Astrotrek Building.
Question. Do you think that the Space Camp would be open between midnight and 5AM so that teams could complete tasks in time to have their 12 hour rest stop and leave before sundown later on Tuesday, July 12??
Another note: if Hurricane Dennis did actually come through on July10-11 it sure would help to make that jeep contest a real quagmire!!
