  I know how you feel George, we do a local tour every year and I head 
it up. I know about where we have to be at what time to make the whole 
tour, it's hard to get evryone going when some are very interested where 
they are. It reminds me of something that happened in high school. One 
of my friends dad had an ice cream trucks, hired a man to run one of the 
routes. He started to get complaints that the truck was passing too 
fast, the kids couldn't get to the road before he passed. Red called the 
driver in and told him about the complaints, his reply was that the 
route was 31 miles long and if he didn't drive fast he wouldn't make the 
whole round. When it's time to leave I ask the group if they want to eat 
ice cream or make the route.
