Its actually Ronele and Eric Gard and if you are lucky, as we were, you may met them on the CSR.

Lou, I found it difficult to get my hands on a copy, and a member of EO helped me out. Well worth the trouble. Apparently they sell out regularly. Every stop you make along the CSR is there, history and track tips. About the only thing missing is a weather report ...and when they say take the right fork they mean it ...as a few have found out to their dismay:)))
