    T...
    
    "Living through it" is sometimes the case.  Remember "Run for the
    Roses"? Did the 25 on a Quarter Horse one year up there early in my
    Endurance "career"...on "Bells Forcast Kip"...in a ferocious
    thunderstorm.  My first BC ever...we came in second. Rained like hell
    all weekend...had to tow the trailers out of the pasture. On top of the
    mountain, we rode across a logged "clear cut". You could smell the ozone
    in the air from the lightning strikes and feel your skin tingle and your
    hair crackle...fastest I've EVER rode across the top of a mountain!
    <grin> Still got the completion coffee cup and the BC parka from that
    ride...won't ever forget how scared I was.....
