Almanzo Video & Pictures

The torrent of stuff about the Almanzo 100 is just starting to trickle onto the web, but here are a few good items.

At least two excellent photographers have already published great photosets to the web – a small set by David Gabrys and a gargantuan set by Craig Lindner on Flickr. The latter contains this wonderful shot of what looks to be the lead pack, sometime in the first 50 miles. We all looked like this by then:
