Tom - you need to come experience a 'western' multiday. you described  
it quite well (maybe except for the warm soft bed). But mostly people  
ride - just to ride, and we have dinner and happy hour at the end of  
each day.  Its a lot of fun and very low key. Last year at the Owyhee  
Canyonlands we offered  5-days of 50's and 5 days of 25's (now those  
folks really know how to enjoy themselves).

There's very few who are into placing and points in a big way, and  
those that are don't flaunt it, and certainly don't convey any  
tension. Mostly everybody is there to experience the get-away, the  
trail, the horse, and the friendships.
