Mounted search and rescue

[JULIE FRANCO <snowyridgeranch@yahoo.com>]

I don;'t know if you recieved my other message, but
can I tie JJ up to your horse trailer in the morning
or do I need to bring the truck and trailer? I can,
but the back door of the trailer needs welding and it
sticks out. When do I qualify for the ten mile ride? I
have some of my gear, not all, no compass or ruler. I
will try and call you later to see if you recieved
this e-mail. Julie
