Sylvia -- it's okay, I like having juniors along <G>.  You have to abide by 
the universal rule though -- NO WHINING.  When you come to the new Cuyama 
multiday next year, I'll show you how it works.  Just make sure you buy a 
Garmin receiver so it will interface with what everybody else has.  It's 
real simple, once you do that you activate your route and then I put the 
screen on the one with the great big arrow, that points you where you need 
to go.  It will also tell you the distance to the next waypoint, so that is 
handy -- you'll know when a turn is coming up.  You don't need to look at 
it continually, unless you have nothing better to look at.....I should warn 
you tho, if Kayla is along we have a 10 mph speed limit.  No 18 mph 
trotting for us!  :+D
