Thank you! I do work at it

I think there may have been some cross-interpretation done somewhere... 8^O

Yep, that's what happens when I don't have enough coffee and don't get my morning run in. I'll have my digi camera at the rally. If whoever wants, I can take their pic and have it available for the website. Also, I'll see if I can pry my daughters Polaroid with sticky film out of her hands and use it for photo badges. We'll have name takes and I thought it would be great if everyone also put their e-mail address on their name tag. Might help in identifying some phantom listers. Gino

Sarah belongs to a club that has just what you are talking about, each member has a pic and little bio set up. I don't have the url, but maybe... Sarah? I could put together a page or two, on my site, or whatever. I have thought this would be a good idea anyway. --- Rev.

I see the importance of GPS as "survival" gear. It's a shame they get all cocked up after riding them at 80 MPH, but I would seriously think that going those speeds would mean highway travel, which would mean proper signage (= no getting lost). And you wouldn't need to keep the GPS reciever mounted all the time. If you really need to mark your route, possily just do it at places which would warrant a waypoint or something.
