Jane Hurl
This whole wagon train/trail ride came into being because Jane Hurl got breast cancer in January of 2006. As she likes to point out, "Breast cancer is not what a girl would do for a picnic", but it looks like she's got it licked (at least so far, so good) and now she wants to give back to the medical system that took such good care of her then, and continues to do so now. This ride is her dream.
Rusty Hurl
The hardest working person on this ride is Rusty Hurl, our event manager (and Jane’s son). It is on his shoulders that everything rides. From finding sponsors to talking to printers to making you feel welcome -- that’s Rusty.
In the summer of 2009, Jane had an accident with the driving team, breaking her back in 5 places, her right hip in 3 places and her left leg. Because of these injuries, in the summer of 2010, she will still drive the team, but Rusty will learn to drive them too. Jane's back will not last a full day of driving, so it's Rusty to the rescue! (And, yes, we know he looks 17 years old, but he isn't. He's 31 ... and very capable!)
It's going to be legendary ... again!
Let's rein in breast cancer!
