AH, so what I heard was sort of correct. Do you know where they
got lost?

That's what puzzled me - I couldn't see that the horse'd been pulled
at the finish, he looked fine.

I looked out for Nick *all* day, but never saw him. He must
have been in diguise.

I had it at 88oF when I left ~5pm. My husband was motorcycling
in the next canyon over and said that it was weird - the temp
variation was very great depending where you were in the canyon.

I looked for Sue all day too, but never got to meet or see her...

I didn't know you were so local, Karen! I thought you were
