we need to contact some massage schools along the run, and let them charge a nominal fee for a chair massage-- there would be plenty of customers-- me included

I vote for that. Last year my back went out in Arlington, tried every thing for releife. On the way home we went to Branson and was able to find  a chiropractor who treated me the same way as mine does at home. Called him told him my problem and he said come on in you may have to wait, did not care, got there and waited 5 minutes and he got ahold of me. Man talk about a reliefe, went the next morning and got worked on again. Then we had a very nice ride home, no pain.
The pain had been so bad we were thinking about renting a UHaul and loading the trike and driving home.
Triker by choice.

I know my wife would vote for the chiropracter and we would pay. By the way, if anybody wants, when you get to Grand Prairie, we have a Jacuzzi and are 20 min from the host hotel.

there seems to be a couple of massage schools in Whiticha Ks-- would I be out of line to contact them, and see if they want to sent some of their students over to Junction City-- I dont want to do anything without, approval of leadership-- Joe

Not a bad idea - however, after a google - I see its 100 miles each way - I would be surprised if they would agree to your request - still a good idea.  I was on a strike team in the San Diego area several years back on a very large fire in the area - at base camp was several - massage people, Chiropractors and even acupuncture folks - it was a very popular area for the Fire Fighters in base camp.

Sparky, we will reserve the Jacuzzi for you and your chosen wedding party attenders.  It holds 6- 8 depending on how friendly you want to get.

The snow going into Williams last year was a welcome change.  I guess living in Northern Utah and riding year-round I never noticed the different.  Of course I did chain-up before I got there. Wink
