We are.  If gas prices go up to $2.00 a gallon like the news is reporting 
ridecamp will get awfully boring.  At least there won't be as many ride 
stories to read.  (I guess Susan and ti can keep re-sending their same 
arguments over and over and over....)

The cost of going to the ride I'm going to this weekend probably went up 
$50-$65 from just last weekend to this one.  Being that the 2nd days entry 
fee on the ride I am going to is $45, I'm afraid that the cost of gas (to 
me anyway) is highly relevant to riding my horses in endurance rides.  (and 
I've got a diesel truck so my overall cost to travel to rides is 
considerably less than a lot of others)
