Week 7 of the Nomad Overland Rally saw a lot of activity, with our strongest Stewardship week so far, as multiple Teams participated in organized and impromptu clean-ups and other projects around the country. We now have five teams with over 4,000 points, and the gaps are narrowing. The top of the Leaderboard has shuffled around this week, as Team 121 Rojas (aka DOGRNR) climbed into First Place with 4,558 points, and knocked Team 117 Lucas (who held onto the top slot for four solid weeks in a row) down into Second, with 4,499 points. Team 101 Mercer pushed back into Third Place with 4,000 points. The Week 7 Challenge, “Ropes and Knots,” gave the Teams a fun break where they could demonstrate their knot-tying skills and pick up some relatively easy points. Teams still have one more week to complete it. Meanwhile Challenge #8 was released this morning and it’s one of the harder ones — “Plotting with Headings.”
