This is a ride where all participants are responsible for organizing their own accommodations, food, and transportation.  Each day will be a "meet-up", arriving each day at the designated time and location.   Note:  Sonja and Freeman will host one "pot-luck" supper at their accommodations in Fairmont.  If people are interested for a second night, we could arrange a supper where we make a reservation at a local restaurant.
