Early Saturday morning, Sam Deland, Joe Campo and Rob Wykoff piloted the Where’s Karl? RV up Little Cottonwood Canyon to Snowbird for the Xterra Trail Running Race.
Ascending LCC was solid test of the RV’s gusto, and based on its stellar performance at high-altitude we’re confident that it will handle the hills of the east with ease when it supports Karl Meltzer on his quest to run the entire Appalachian Trail in 47 days.
At the Race, we met up with Backcountry.com’s own Jill L. and her husband, Dominic. It didn’t take long for Jill and Dom to convince Sam to put on some borrowed socks and enter the race… within minutes, the starting gun sounded and the racers took flight.
Sam, Jill and Dom were ready to race – they even had enough energy to smile for the camera mid-race!
The smiles didn’t stop when the race was over because all three runners placed extremely well! Jill took 5th place in her womens’ group, Dom came in 3rd overall and the last minute entry Deland represented with a strong 7th place finish.
Congrats to everyone who ran in Saturday’s race! Keep an eye out for the Where’s Karl? RV in a town near you! www.whereskarl.com

Any idea of Karl’s RV schedule as it proceeds east towards Maine?
Would like to have idea when it might pass thru Iowa. Assume will be going on I-80??
Thanks,
Steve
