Ginger, Ginger A Maid So Fair !!! was [at-l] Ginger!! Thanks I'll walk.

   I think the thing will be way cool for section hiking... Park and lock it
to a tree at one end and drive to the other end in your car... HIKE and then
"scoot" back to your car on the road... However getting the 65 pounds outta
the trunk might be the most exercise you get all day...

  Wish I had the 3 grand.... Maybe I'll play the Lotto tonight...
