    The inspiration for your blog title I presume? Looks more interesting than anything on TV this weekend. I'll watch it Sunday, maybe try to pin my son down to watch it with me.

      Yes it is. It's about an hour long, so you shouldn't need the heavy duty pins. Enjoy.

    Fun to find this blog. My mom is Ada DeFranceaux who is in the documentary. My great Uncle Jim is/was "the young Lt. Moss." :) Kay DeFranceaux Leonard

      Wow! I'm glad you found it and thanks for leaving a comment. As you can probably tell, I find the story fascinating. I have read the book, watched the video and visited the museum in Missoula. I hope to actually ride some of their route one day.
