Hello Kat,
I definitely agree with you that a ride that is short on mileage is a 
problem and that is why I give whatever data I have to the RM and let 
them decide what to do with it. With all the problems that RM's 
already have to deal with I do not want to make things worse by 
bad-mouthing the mileage around camp. I just pass on my data as a 
resource for next time. Like all things in this world not all GPS 
units are created equal, some days have better satellites, some 
trails have deep canyons and trees, etc. That's why I plot my tracks 
on software and compare the results. I wish I could be at your new 
ride but my horse has something going on with an old splint that has 
started getting bigger X;{ x-rays aren't back yet. He's not off so if 
no chips or cracks show up then we will continue on our quest for 
dinner. "To Finish Is To Win" is our motto but we have been pulled a 
few times so our record is not perfect but.....we are undefeated for 
dinner. :-D
