I for one sure hope so, as there will undoubtedly be others who will want to chase as well. This decision is obviously up to JBWX, but IMHO we will need some financial support from non-riders in order to keep the ticket price low enough to attract enough patrons for the trip to be viable. Last year's "Springtime in the Rockies" charter - and especially the 40th Anniversary Re-Enactment charter, on which the 1970 Volunteers were invited to ride at no charge - would simply not have been possible without the generous support of dozens of people, many of whom could not even be there to chase but wanted to contribute and to enjoy the photos of others afterwards.
Chasers chipping in to help cover the cost could well mean the difference between having or not having a helper for them to photograph, for example.
