Hey! Its calling in from Ariquada Mark (?). We just finished the stage, actually we just left service. Everything went pretty good. We started way back today, was hoping to start in the top ten today, but it did not work out I started 14 th, so I had to fight through the dust. I lost about 4 minuets to the first checkpoint trying to get through some things cars seemed to open up a little bit but still had to pass 100 bikes today. It was pretty brutal, but all the cars had the same problems passing the bikes. But I ended up 5 th on the stage so you know everything is going as planned and the car is in great shape and all the guys are happy. So, I'll try to give you a call tomorrow, we start in Zquid (? ) tomorrow morning. It is just right crazy now in Africa, people everywhere, pandemonium, anyway hopefully things will mellow out a little as we get further south. Thanks for checking in, I did my best today, considering the situation, I think it was OK. I'll call in tomorrow and hopefully everything will be good. Thanks, bye,

Craig, thanks a lot for transcripting the daily audio update of Mark Miller.
The names of the places are "Er Rachidia" and "Ouarzazate.

Helge, yes I recognize the names you gave, but I think the names are the names of Mark gave where the super specials start and stop, which does not include the portion liaison to and from the bivouac. I did not recognize the names used Mark but I did find the name Zquid on the map at the end of the special, which sounded very similar to what I though I heard Mark say.
