Debbie...I am rather surprised at your message.  I was talking about  
the Santa Fe ride multiday point to point ride.  You somehow inferred  
Caja.

My concern is about a ride where the entry is in the 4 figures.  I am  
talking about withdrawal MONTHS before an event.  Please retract your  
comments about my "tone".  Phone calls have certainly been made, e- 
mails as well.  It's not about GUTS to do their own posting--it was  
about refund policies, and ride management's promise of a refund in  
at least one case, and not following through.
