   Nice system.  We could just throw them in the RV, but I think I'll just   
   get a hitch rack.

   We were out hiking in the back country last year down south and east of   
   Tucson.  Very rocky and hilly place, with many small streams to cross.   
   A few had water, but most were dry, though still hard to cross.  Out of   
   nowhere come about 6 or 7 younger folks on bikes riding like crazy.  I   
   was amazed at how anyone would want to ride in those conditions.  It was   
   pretty fun watching them until they were out of sight.  Crazy kids.   
      
   BTW, when old people say, "Enjoy them while they are young" they are   
   talking about your hips, knees, and ankles.  Not your kids.
