Re: [RC] XP 04 - Annie George

Well I think you are rite Karen, not likely to happen again, very soon any way. I  couldn't go on the  76, or the 01.  Danged if Im gonna miss this one!  If I have to ride my horse from home to the start, and carry an old blanket and a can of pork'n'beans! !!   Annie G.                                                                                                  Anne George Saddlery   www.vtc.net/~ageorge

....and, this is the kind of thing that probably won't happen again after
next year.  The 2001 ride was 8 weeks long.  The ride in 2004 is 25 days of
riding, 5 weeks -- and IMO, if anybody thinks that they want to do a really
special event this probably really will be the last time it happens, due to
lots of logistical reasons.  Some people missed getting to do the GAHR in
1976, some missed it that wanted to do it in 2001.  If they miss it in
2004, I doubt that another opportunity will come along in our
lifetimes.   Of course, this is just my opinion, probably not worth
much.  Part of the reason it is even being attempted again is because of
requests made by aging riders---not that new ones won't come along, but the
ride management is not something that can be replaced.  (again, IMO).

Happy trails,

Karen
