To provide the always-illusive margin of safety, we'll try to keep on the same routes both north and south-bound. We'll race up one route and return to Barstow, CA on another route. If we can eliminate one, we'll have our racecourse. Then all we have to decide is our direction of travel, i.e. clockwise or counter-clockwise. Racer's please reply at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much.
