Re: [RC] LQ trailes and the decline of point-to point rides - Lynne GlazerYeah, but who wants to pull a tent down every morning and put it back up every night?Heck, I have a modest gooseneck in terms of LQing, anyway, and if someone hasn't driven a gooseneck before I sure don't want 'em starting with my soft-as-butter aluminum rig. ("Swing wide, go slow" is my mantra...)

Folks started getting LQ trailers instead of tenting or buying old, relatively check p/u campers and stock-sized b/p trailers that any competent ranch kid could pull and didn't cost as much as a modest house. Now they have 'houses on wheels' + super sized rigs to pull them and they dont want to drive that thing many miles over back roads between ride points, or sure dont want to trust someone else to drive it for them. Who woulda thunk endurance riders having more money would hurt rides? Well I guess it helps some rides that are more LQ and motorhome friendly, it just hurts the more 'pioneering style' ridess =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
