Re: [RC] LQ trailes and the decline of point-to point rides - heidiAhhh, Finally we've got the real reason that point-to-point multidays declined. 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. Have you checked out what the ranch kids are pulling these days? Most of the ranch kids up here can finesse a gooseneck full of calvy cows in and out of spots that would give most drivers the vapors, and never stop them chewing their cuds. Guess that must be one of the regional differences--we still can find folks up here in the NW who drive stuff like that and who want to come along for the week, make some $$ driving, and see how the nutty suburban endurance folks live so they can go home and giggle about us for the rest of the year. <vbg> And most of 'em know which end of the horse the feed goes in, too, in case a few folks have spare horses along for the ride. We always seemed to be able to come up with a driving crew up here that would fill up a Suburban for transporting if we needed more rigs driven than we had drivers. (And we hated to get TOO many, since it cut into the $$ that they could make.)
