[RC] Tevis Coverage - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

Good Morning,

Since I am in the backwoods of Wyoming, I monitored the Tevis Website all day 
yesterday and last night for information on how Christoph and our Husky were 
doing, as well as how our friends Crockett/Gunner and several others from Utah 
that we know.

It was a most frustrating experience to find so little information on the 
official Tevis Website, particularly when all the other endurance sites only 
linked back to it and didn't cover the event separately.

We learned that Cathy had won---almost two hours after she did.  I finally gave 
up on our pairs, who I knew could not be that far behind, but after two more 
hours without information, we could not keep our eyes open.  This morning the 
website posted the top twenty riders but there is nothing about the Best 
Condition judging. It is as though the website has gone blank--nothing has been 
posted at all today.

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION?  For Example,  This appears to be one of 
the longest first places times in the history of the Tevis---is that due to a 
change in trail or was yesterday that hot and humid?  There was nothing on the 
conditions and how the horses and riders were being affected by them.  Are all 
the horses and riders okay this morning?  The coverage gave us only some basic 
time information, it did nothing to help us understand and digest that 
information.

I realize how much we have all come to count on Steph and John's
coverage and evaluations of endurance rides on Endurance Net!  Is there a 
reason why Endurance Net did not cover the Tevis?  Last night one of the 
Ridecampers commented on the lack of Tevis chatter on Ridecamp but for some of 
us, you Ridecampers were a better source of information than the entire Tevis 
Website. Thanks for the few bits of information you shared.
