RE: [RC] Multi-day point to point? - David LeBlancBarbara McCrary said: We've been to numerous point-to-point multi-day rides and we've always had to find a crew. I haven't an idea how else you would manage otherwise. Without a crew, you are doomed to alternate days with your wife. The only solution I've been able to come up with, which is less than ideal - but works - is to have a vehicle to shuttle you back to your rig so you can drive it to camp. If you had crew that could drive the truck, but not the rig, your crew could do that for you. Or if you brought a car, you could drop the car at the end point the night before. Certainly not a great solution, as it would probably take a minimum of 2 hours to go back and forth, and this isn't what I want to be doing while tired. I'd really like to be able to try something like the big XP ride this year, and was thinking that there might be others. Finding a driver for something like this would be a nightmare. I agree 110% that there is no way I'm going to let some kid drive something that weighs about 10 tons before you add horses. It's too big, doesn't have much ground clearance, not to mention what it is worth. Even with a normal sized rig, I'd have to trust someone a lot to haul one of my horses. The historical value of riding very old trail is very neat - portions of Steph and John's ride are on the Oregon trail, and it was hard to imagine pulling a wagon through some of that. I'd like to be able to do more of it, but as you point out, it's hard to manage. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
