As I send this WY is riding through the night. The good news is no big problems. If the mail is behind, some how it seems to work out.

The opportunity to follow the re-ride has been amazing. The riders are so committed to getting the Mochilla handed off on time. The comradely in the states and between the states is evident. I have seen the riders pull together when they hear a ride captain has been in a major accident, experienced a fall, or a serious illness. The events the community sponsors have been terrific. Just tonight at Martins Cove in WY, a dinner was provided to all pony riders. All the states up to this point have had some type of community event for the riders.
