We, Karen and Dana have been friends since our daughters were 6 and they are now 36! We just clicked as teammates our first year and never thought about doing the rally with anyone else. Each year we feel the pull of the competition, the challenge and the pride of accomplishment. That’s what keeps us coming back! This is our 10th year and we can hardly believe 10 years have passed so quickly. We have loved every minute of the rallies even the most difficult ones. It’s hard to pick just one defining moment; the moments that really stand out are… when you are driving in some of the most beautiful parts of our country and you would never see it if you were not on the rally; they are so far off the beaten track. Another wonderful part of the rally is meeting the most extraordinary women; many have become dear friends.

I love doing the Rebelle because it's so different from everything else that I do. I truly enjoy meeting the amazing women that participate in this event. Now is the time!

Dana and I come to compete and do our best while still having fun.
What makes me tick is spending time in the Bahamas. I love the water and all the water activities there. I play lots of Pickleball, it's great fun!
Haha, my back ground in motorsports is the mini bike I had as a kid. Riding it in the canyons near our home and in the hills near Rosarita, Mexico.
ANYTHING but the big sand dunes!
The extreme cold and packing up the tent in the dark.
It challenges me mentally and physically. It so out of the realm of my regular life.

Why not the Rebelle and why not now!
I'm inspired by artistic people who see shapes and colors and can combine them effectively in new ways.

Doing the Rebelle for nine years is definitely my greatest adventure. It has also opened opportunities for me to drive in Botswana, Morocco and Saudi Arabia.... all incredible experiences.

Quilting - cutting fabric into little pieces and sewing them back together again. I love to read, and travel.
No experience at all, which is what makes this so fun!!
I climbed Mt Whitney when I was in eighth grade…almost made it to the top :). I’ve walked two marathons, best time 5 1/2 hours.
The steeper the better. I have my helmet on, my seatbelt - what’s the worst that can happen ?
It’s hard when you make a mistake and you feel like you’ve let your teammate down -
Not having experience in motor sports, this event is so unique for us - so outside the realm of our everyday lives - it’s allowed me to feel like I’m capable of quite a lot.
