Well you don't have to ask me twice!  I would hire Miranda unless
Dave has accumulated enough time off by then.  I might hire Miranda
anyway, so I can save his time off for any other future 'big'
rides.  I'm sure Miranda is already spoken for in regards to
anything like that.  

btw, I do have a bunch of photos from the Applegate Lassen ride.  If
I can, I'll put them all up for everybody to see.  This was the
first ride where I ever got to see real wagon train ruts, and names
written on rock in wheel grease.  Here are some photos from another
website that shows parts of the trail:

The last time the ride happened, in 1998, it was a real adventure (great
preparation for the 2001xp):

btw, Barbara I will help you mark it with gps.  If you do it that way, it will be done for all time.  I believe the trail can be followed quite easily with written directions, a map, and gps waypoints.  This would save you huge amounts of time marking and unmarking 250 (well, 500 miles!) of trail.  Maybe you could just go ahead each day and put arrows down on the turns.
