  Jody is being modest. She may have begun her endurance career in 1979,
but she got her start on horseback by helping lead the Connestoga wagons
along the Oregon Trail. Those were the days! No ribbons, no vets,
no crew, no completion awards. Just the threat of  starvation, pestilence,
and the occasional flaming arrow whizzing by her head. And she's still here
to talk about it. 
 Some people say that even with all the difficulties at Big Horn in this
and in other years, it's still "doable," and that may be. Some survivors
of the Oregon Trail probably said the same thing.
