I remember hearing about that one.  It was about 1968, wasn't it?  The second 
year of the ride and one year before the ride came over to the coast (never 
to return to the Santa Clara Valley).  Or was it 1967, the very first year of 
the ride?  Julie would know.
Then again, there was Castle Rock just a few years ago, rained out, and we 
were unable to contact only two entries.  Of course, they were the ones who 
showed up to a locked gate.  We now advise contacting ride management before 
leaving home if the weather looks even remotely doubtful.
