Robert,
You should call the RM for specifics but past rides there have all looped 
back to camp for the holds.
Few riders in the Central Region rely much on crews, though it's always 
nice. The vet check may be down in the bottom field closer to the primitive 
camp, so if you have an electric site reserved to might want an extra bucket 
and haybag to take down to the vet area if you have to wait, even if you 
come back to trailer for the hold. (It's not terribly far, but not something 
you're going to run back and forth quickly, especially near the end of the 
ride, LOL.)
There will be vendors there if you find there is something you can't live 
without.
Do not hesitate to ask for help. We're a basically helpful group, but not 
usually pushy with advice, ask!
Don't expect detailed maps and GPS waypoints etc at Central rides, although 
there are some riders who use them that might help you out there. It's 
basically "follow the ribbons and signs".
