RE: [RC] Longstreet's Charge (+ cool medics vests:) - EnduroGal

What?  Humid??  ...And here I thought it was pleasantly cool outside today!
Heck, you oughtta be in Houston, Texas... the riders have to take ice baths
in the horse troughs at every vet check, because the temps out there average
98 degrees with 98% humidity six months out of the year.  It was about 78
degrees here in Chattaboogie today - that's downright COLD in comparison!
:-)

Glad you enjoyed your partial tour of the course today - you are going to
see even prettier scenery on Saturday!  Just a plug for our photographer
friend, though... Linda was unable to make it this weekend due to a family
commitment, so you actually met her replacement - the eager and energized
Nancy McCurdy (www.nancymccurdyphotograpy.com), who is thrilled to be with
us and rarin' to photograph some horses.  Look for your photos on her
website when the ride is over!

Hope you have a great time this weekend, and I look forward to meeting you
tomorrow, Cindy!!

Well, Ridecampers, we are here in northeastern Georgia/southwestern  
Tennessee!  We visited family in Arkansas for several days and then  
headed east.  The last two days we've spent touring the Chattanooga  
and Chicamauga battlefields.  I've tried to hike everywhere possible  
to adjust to the warmer temps and humidity.  Honestly, so far the  
weather has been wonderful for this area.  The mountains here may not  
be as big as they are in Wyoming, but they make up for it in steep,  
rugged beautiful combined with heat and humidity!  We met up with  
Angie and her husband, Bill, today at the ride site.  The ride site is  
a beautiful, lush meadow of grass.  There are already a lot of rigs  
there.  Angie expects about 90 riders.  We helped Bill put up the ride  
management tent and then rode with Angie and her photographer Linda,  
up the mountain to check out the vet check area and to see Hood's  
Overlook.

Tomorrow I'll get to test out "7" and get a saddle set up for the  
ride.  Jody and Joni will be there then and I'll get to meet Josie,  
too!  I'm so excited about this amazing opportunity and, of course,  
grateful to my long-suffering husband for getting me here.

Cool medic vests-I love mine in Wyoming, but no idea if they are of  
any use in this humidity.  I have it along, so may get to find out  
this weekend and I'll let you know.  Cindy (from Wyoming but out here  
in the southeast enjoying the hospitality)
