Tracking
We've had several heavy rains this past week. That bodes well for the quality of tracking.

Remember to check the length of your tracking line. Seems many of these lines do shrink -- some by several feet! The lines will be measured before you track.

The steak fry is by reservation only -- the cow done jumped the moon and we can only purchase what we have confirmed we need. There is a special rate for competitors. Contact the trial secretary for reservations.

You can also pre-purchase your lunch tickets from the trial secretary.
