Re: [RC] duck - Barbara McCrary

Point to point was the way the original pioneer rides were held, and that was the goal of the original rides.  They had to be on historic pioneer trails.  That concept fell by the wayside because riders had trouble finding crews and drivers and also preferred not to have to move every day.  I agree with you, Tammy, that the real pioneer rides...Outlaw Trail, Applegate-Lassen, et al were the most interesting.

If you go to one of the duck rides that moves camp every night...
I don't think he has anymore point to point rides.  You might have to move one day on a few rides but most are one base camp multi-day ride.
 
Too bad, I loved the point to point rides like the Old Renegade & Outlaw Trail rides.  It felt like you were going someplace on your horse, instead of looping around and just doing miles to do miles.  The changes on a point to point in terrain and what you saw made it so great on a day to day bases. On the Old Renegade Ride, Randy would have us ride to Paloma boarder town on day three, we would go accross the boarder and have a dinner/party that night and Randy would start the ride the next morning at 8:00 am for us late nighters.  The Outlaw Trail ride was the most different from day to day.  First day was Aspens, Pines, next day was sandstone and red sand, etc...It was a great feeling.  That is also one of my favorite things about the Tevis ride.  Your riding to someplace....Auburn!
