I'm nervous talking about this, 100 miles to go still- kinda like a certain near-victory at a certain 24 hour race in Tucson last February...
BUT- a little sippin' tequila will be in order too. I'm hoping that Tim the border guard comes through on the beer front. Matt & Eric from Tucson will be coming out this evening, so we'll probably get the party started for Mary & Steve before they come in. Kinda like pre-heating an oven. Kinda?
Ice cream is a fantastic idea too, but without a way to keep it chilled we might be outta luck. According to Ardie Olson- by way of Sherry- there's good, non-melted ice cream at the Bowlin's Running Indian on I-10. Maybe they'll hit it up before the final 72 miles.
Mariachi band- that'll have to wait for the after-after party back at the ranch. According to Marlin, the Idyllwild trail honch, there are "people who know people who can make that happen..."
I'm out.
ps- the Javalina in Silver City is worth a visit. Good iced espresso. I'm on my 3rd of the day...
