RE: HELP...A CALL TO ARMS

["Kelly Hansen" <khansen@fabgear.com>]

I'm in DC (my horse lives in Upper Marlboro, MD)--I don't have extra space
for people or horses (ah, city life--I've perfected small space living so I
can afford my horse!), but I know folks in my Arabian Club have room.  I'm
sure there is some why we could help out.

What an exciting adventure!

Keep Well,
Kelly

Greetings, I am newly registered but am posting as guest as I can't figure
out how to post a NEW message...oops!

Our team of riders need your help! This coming May our team of 4 riders and
2 ground crew will be departing for a 6,000 mile ride across America on the
newly opened American Discovery Trail. The ADT connects many local, state,
historic, and national trails and passes through wilderness, mountain,
desert, small towns and major cities. Traveling 20-25 miles per day and
resting the stock one and one-half days per week, we anticipate this trip
taking us approx. 10 months.
To conserve our dutch oven, tents, and sanity, we are hoping there are
fellow distance riders out there who will reach out to say "howdy" and
possibly offer us a warm barn and a hot shower for the night. We are also
looking for "touchstones" who would act as emergency contacts for us
enroute. The ADT will take us through the states of Delaware, Maryland/D.C.,
WVirginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Calif.  Should we get caught later in
the year than expected we may have to divert through NewMexico and Arizona
as well.
If any of you are interested in becoming contacts for us in your state or
would like to offer four weary riders a stop over please contact me at :
ketchtropictramp@hotmail.com
I will let you know where the trail runs in your state and we can determine
if you are close enough to help.  Your help will be greatly appreciated by
riders and stock, and would sure help our families sleep better, too! If any
of you are interested in following the sordid details of the ride our
webpage will be up and running soon. We'll post it on RideCamp
Thanks to you all,
Walksgood
