On several rides I have done, the finish line was a mile or two from camp. You
finished, the RM had water there and you either walked or rode your shorse it. I
walked and it took about 20 to 40 minutes. This is not a big deal. With the LD
you put pulse takers out at the finish.

You might have to even move a vet out, but that's a lot safer than the type of
finished described.
