Sorry, I have to mourn the CKS Plaza. The non-NuoaMingDongs just voted, up and changed it's name. Said CKS doesn't deserve it....

There's probablly other flights. But Anch. is a stop almost all the China Airline will make. Even the one that's seventeen hours between Taipei and DC/NYC.

9:47 AM: Ron/Christina leaving now. Fly to Anchorage, Alaska, final destination city. Have to pick up gear at 6th Avenue Outfitters store along with clue. 10:30 AM: TK/Rachel leaving. They say staying calm is there way to be successful. They are excited about going to Alaska. Ron/Christina checking Air China for tickets. 10:37 AM: Nic/Don leaving. Nic/Don think there will be some hunting or fishing tasks. Air China has seats available on a flight to Anchorage. They get a free upgrade to their lounge. They head to the lounge where they'll have access to Internet. TK/Rachel at Air China and asking if the people have seen people like them. They ask to get on the same flight as that group and they are happy to be on the same flight as other teams. Nic/Don arrive and also on that flight. All wondering where Ron/Christina are. TK says they should find them. Ron/Christina are inside the China Air lounge and we see them passing by the lounge. Ron/Christina getting directions to the store in Anchorage. TK is worried that they haven't seen Ron/Christina. He think maybe they might have found an earlier flight. THey finally show up and everyone is relieved to see them. All on the plane together. Anchorage, Alaska: The plane is landing and all are standing in line to get off the plane. TK talking to Nic/Don about who is the fastest running team. They are off. All in the same order as before. Ron/Christina get a taxi and are off to 6th Avenue Outfitters. Ron/Christina get there first and getting their gear and clue. Find Ship Creek Boat Launch at water front to find next clue. They go back to their cab and he knows where it is so they are off again. TK/Rachel go in and get their gear and clue. It's fillet gear. TK/Rachel off in cab. He thinks he knows where it is. Nic/Don are off but they forget their gear. They think they're in good shape for only being behind by a couple of minutes. Ron/Christina arrive. DETOUR. Cut the Cod: Cut through several 50 lb cod and search for clue hidden inside. "Teams with the guts to dig into their work..." Grab the Crab: Have to find one crab in tank marked with race colors. Have to get in tank with writhing crabs. "Teams without fast hands could find themselves in a pinch." Ron decides to do Cut the Cod instead because he knows the crabs can pinch them. TK/Rachel get dropped off but at the wrong place. THey get directions that it's five minutes down the road and get back in their cab. Nic/Don's driver says that he is a cab driver he's supposed to know where things like that are. Ron/Christina find the clue when Christina helps her dad. Have to climb up 20-Mile Glacier to get next clue. They have to go to 20-Mile River first. Nic/Don pass Ron/Christina on the way to boat place. TK/Rachel then pass them. TK/Rachel see Nic/Don and have their driver stop. Nic/Don realize they didnt' take their gear. TK overhears that as Nic says, "Crap!"

Sea, something about Taiwan ... people.... There's many now views CKS and his followers who ran from Mao to Taiwan as Forced Allian on them.... They forget their great grand father also came from mainland China, just as my father and uncles...

nick & don made a major mistake by forgetting their bag of supplies @ the 1st clue. I wander if they'll go back & get it or try one of the challenges without it. Well, back on - they're going back for the bag. Don is blaming nick for the mess up. Chris & Ron are way ahead - they're headed for the next clue.

Stacey, that Ron thinks he's funny. I say it's okay to laugh at his goofness when he tries so hard to be funny.

Nic/Don back in the cab and Don is angry at Nic for screwing up. He says it sounds simple to him that Nic read the clue but didn't pay attention. Nic says his (Don's) hindsight is always 20/20. TK/Rachel doing Grab for Crabs. They aren't sure they chose the right one as they get pinched. TK wondering if they should change to the fish. Nic/Don back in the cab with their gear and they decide they are going to do the Cut the Cod because it'll be faster to cut the fish. TK/Rachel talking about switching soon as they keep grabbing. Rachel thinks they should stop. They decide to stop just as NIc/Don run by and then TK finds the clue on one. They are off as Don/Nic start cutting. TK/Rachel off in their cab. Don is cutting as he tells Nic to get in there and look. Don finds it and they are off. Don says they don't like being third out of three. Ron/Christina are about 25 minutes ahead of the others (TK tells us) and TK/Rachel hope they can catch up with them. Ron/Christina are off in their boat to 20-Mile Glacier. Christina says it's so much fun. She talks about how it was great to run this race with her Dad. TK/Rachel's driver is calling for directions and TK is freaking out a little bit. He's worried about it and Rachel telling him to calm down. Nic/Don say that getting the right taxi driver is important here. TK/Rachel do get there first, though. Nic/Don are right behind them. TK/Rachel are off in their boat. Rachel says what she loves is how much fun they have together. Nic/Don are in their boat. Nic says it's been everything he wanted and more. They see some moose getting out of the water as they ride past. Ron/Christina arriving now and being told that they have to climb the ice face to get to the next clue and Ron clarifies that they both have to do it. Christina tells Ron that he can do it. They are getting instructions on what they have to do now . Ron says he is excited but also full of fear. Ron is off and says he is scared of falling. It is an almost 90 degree angle going up. Christina now starting up behind him and having some trouble getting her feet in the ice. Other teams getting close as Christina is still stuck at the bottom. Ron yells some encouragement to her.

Sea: the ice climbing gear wasn't in the bag. Only the fillet stuff. They got the ice gear from the guy at the glacier.

I guess Ron doesn't hurt too much any more. That's great! It would've been so sad if his pain prevents him from doing the final dash! I'm still going to be happy at a win by which ever one of these three teams. But that will be unfair for Chris.
