| Due to the incredible response from those who have previously participated on the ride and the interest expressed by many others, I hope to continue sharing this experience and continue taking people on the trail. If you are interested in the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT) and wish to experience some of this real packhorse trail adventure with me please let me know as soon as you can. I will be taking people on some of the more spectacular parts of the trail from September 1999 into 2000. I will keep you posted as more plans are made. |
