There are (were?) veterinary checkpoints all along the way = Yes, I've already seen a msg from Vixen explaning that. My mistake. I misread her original msg and though it was to duplicate the original Pony Express operation not just the route. I just assumed that meant changing horses at relay points too. What's the route go over? Don't tell Vixen but I seem to remember reading that the original route went through Death Valley which might not be too good for her breathing problem... :-) (just kidding Vixen) ..... (added later) I just saw your next msg to Vixen saying the event is Aug 4th. That's this coming weekend. I doubt Vixen will be in shape by then so I assume its a case of "just wait till next year". -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!129!26!Stu.Turk Internet: Stu.Turk@f26.n129.z1.fidonet.org
