CDPN Acquires GPS And Wireless Transportation Development Company!

China Datacom Corp.
Sym: CDPN
Close: $0.065

CDPN, through its subsidiary "Supremacy Intl", acquired all outstanding
shares in General Link Information Systems. General manages, serves and
operates the only GPS vehicle monitoring and management system in China,
and provides a wide range of mobile applications for the transport
industry. This is HOT! It's already taking off, volume jumped through
the roof Friday! Read the release and get in on CDPN first thing Monday.

Enduraventure went so far as to pretend to have left something in the TA
and feigned a trip back to their gear boxes in order to sneak out the
back of the small field in an attempt to shake EMS.
If your job were to spot dogs, the breed is not relevant, but if you get
fined for calling out cats, it is a problem.
We have seen enough bagels, mytobs, zotobs, etc.
This maker of innovative, ultra-light outdoor gear has been a staunch
supporter of all things Checkpoint Zero for going on 3 years now.
Formulating a nutrition and hydration strategy for a 24-hour race is no
easy task and our strategy is pretty straightforward: eat and drink like
emaciated cows. But no worry as I have a full wetsuit on (thanks to
stern suggestions from Paul and Karen).
Perhaps we should have given the ol' bikes a test ride this morning? We
sleep for 2 hours as the sun goes down, using the last rays to keep
warm. At the end of the paddle no team had yet emerged to lead the
field. They want to do the huge canyon and are not allowed to continue
unless there are at least 3 people trekking together.
After handing out punch cards we're loaded onto three busses; the race
will start at Lake Perry, roughly 15-20 minutes by bus from Lawrence.
Despite the difficulty of the course just 15 teams withdrew along the
way.
The forecast is correct this day. Make sure to join us for our next
event in Portland Maine on the 12th of May.
Some have pulled out of the race, some are simply resting around the
fire and one team is attempting to overcome sickness before continuing.
The water is warm but sitting wet after my dunking I stay awake to the
finish flag.
This leg was into the wind and into the swell. A short way later we all
split up electing alternate routes to the next checkpoint. Everything
else was instantly a blur, but the details are sinking in. We are woken
by one team going past us and a couple of cars.
Despite the difficulty of the course just 15 teams withdrew along the
way. We had good navigation throughout, and the one error did not harm
us. At 4000' it was the highest point on the course. To spread the field
ahead of a short, half mile portage to the water's edge, the Start was
preceded by a Prologue. My mother-in-law pulled on all night-er keeping
tabs on us! From the top teams who raced to win, to those who raced for
the experience and thrill, it will hold life-long memories. Great
planning by Kristine and Steve (who is our primary navigator) sets a
plan in motion and we descended to the gulley then up the south ridge.
Many were surprised to see them drop out when team captain Chris Boyd
was overcome by heat exhaustion.
Congratulations too, to all racers who stared this journey.

The field was stretched coming out of CP10 as those teams with stronger
navigational skills pulled ahead of those who struggled to "stay found"
while searching for CPs 7, 8 and 9. Descend to from a ridge to the CP
and follow the road out from there.
Some are sloping slick areas, others are free-hanging. A few teams made
it in and out of CP13 more or less unscathed. Anyone who knows about the
race knows about (B) the CANYON and (A) the SEAS. This checkpoint was
the crux of the course that challenged the most experienced veterans
and, for a short time at least, seemed to completely demoralize every
team that went for it. In under 5 minutes all teams are on their way
after helping each other in this wilderness area.

2007 5:57 am Nice review! Veteran adventure sports photographer Will
Ramos captured the race in pictures.
During the night temperatures drop to 0C, to keep moving is the best
heater. At 4000' it was the highest point on the course. At narrow
points we squeeze through boulders the size of a house.
