Sam, you definitely want to get in touch with the SoCal and AZ chapters
of the DOC. They're very, very active and pretty large from what I

and I'm already doing the Durango Rocky Mountain Rendevouz with my
father and the DOC that summer - can't afford it financially AND I won't
have enough vacation time.
