COUNTRY LIVING
The next morning, the ten Teams woke up to a heavy rain beating down on them as the Aiellos, Gaghans and Weavers opened their clue instructing them to drive 92 miles to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania to find the Brubaker family farm. Linda Weaver said a prayer for her family. Later, remarking on her family's faith, she said, "God is what pulled us through my husband's death. If we didn't have faith in the Lord, I don't know where we'd be and I think he has a hand with us being in the race."
Arriving at the Brubaker farm in first place, the Weavers opened their clue to find the race's first Detour. In this Detour, Teams had to choose between Build It and Buggy It. In Build It, Teams needed to use the materials provided to build a miniature working watermill. While not physically demanding, proper assembly could take a long time. In Buggy It, Teams had to transport a traditional Amish buggy along a 1.5-mile course with two team members riding in it. While physically demanding, Teams with enough muscle could finish quickly.
Believing they had the leg strength to complete the task, both the Weavers and Aiellos ran off to pull a buggy through the course. However, both Teams soon realized that pulling the heavy buggy with two team members adding additional weight inside was a daunting task. Arriving third, the Gaghan family surprisingly also chose to transport the cumbersome buggy. With children Billy and Carissa enjoying the ride, Bill and Tammy began the arduous journey.
