First off, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all you moms out there. Second, I apologize if I've been absent from the forum but, family comes first in my book.
That being said, I think I need to clarify a few things. ALL the WAYALIFE runs are first and foremost runs that Cindy and I would normally do with or without ANYONE. They are how we enjoy spending our free time and whenever possible, we prefer to enjoy them with our friends. Being that we were originally from SoCal, most of our personal friends are from that area and without question, they are who we ASK to join us on runs like this. So that there's no confusion, all these people (the ones at the top of the list) agree to come and volunteer their HELP so that the rest of you can have a good time. We purposefully spread them throughout the group, ask them to help spot, stack rocks if needed and be friendly to all our guests. NONE of them get paid to do this and in spite of what some may think, it IS a lot of work.
To those of you who've volunteered to have your name removed from the waiting list, thank you. I really do appreciate it as I have been working to get a few more people coming and would really hope to have a few more new people or people who won't have an opportunity to run the Rubicon this year, join us.
