I do understand everyones pet peeves, but, since we're scaring off some
newbies......One of the things I really enjoy about these rides is the
help/support I've gotten from others' crews. When I started into this, I didn't
have a crew--drove buckets out to the trail & vet check stuff out the day
before--but then, during the ride I don't remember ever passing a fellow riders
crew without them offering my mule H2O to drink or wear. If my buckets were
near, i'd say "no thanks" & move on, if I didn't have stuff near by I gladly
took them up on it. Now, if I have a crew at a ride, I make sure they have
enough H2O to share with others-kind of a "pay it forward" thing.
