DETOUR
Opening their clue, Debbie & Bianca discovered the first Detour of the Race. In this Detour, Teams had to choose between Rope a Llama and Rope a Basket. For Rope A Llama, each Team had to rope two llamas and take them to a pen. Roping the llamas didn’t require strength, but getting them to cooperate and walk to the pens could be frustrating and time-consuming. Rope A Basket required each Team member to use a rope to tie a basket containing 35 pounds of alfalfa to their back and carry it two-thirds of a mile to a store. Carrying the heavy baskets required strength, but Teams with endurance could finish quickly. In the time it took Debbie & Bianca to make their choice, Susan & Patrick finished the zipline and opted to Rope a Llama with Debbie & Bianca, while Rob & Amber chose to Rope a Basket.
