Today a decent faction of riders gathered today at Harold's Corral in Cave Creek to celebrate this year's ride, discuss the good, bad, & ugly of how the event went last March and discuss some plans for what's coming in the coming months and for next year's ride.

Trail boss Phil Fedor was presented a bottle of Pendleton whisky by Tom Alberti as payment for being out of uniform. (Phil excused the penalty because of Tom's advanced age & the extreme heat that day, but Tom honored his word to pay the Pendleton penalty.)

Phil was also presented a thank you gift of a framed photo of him during the finale last March by the advisory team.

More importantly, the riders were recognized for several categories. The winners were voted on by the PX Advisory team in areas follows:

Speed Demon award - Brett Fairbanks
Most likely to lose their hat - Courtney Mathus
Best handoff - Bruce Perkins & Brett Fairbanks
Rookie of the Year - Randall Ford
MVP - Ashleigh Mairin-Elizabeth

Next gathering will be a horse camp up near Dewey AZ at the end of July.

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

- President Abraham Lincoln
Gettysburg Address
November 19, 1863

Honor & remember the fallen.
