Re: [RC] Point to Point 100's (was: 7 times?) - Barbara McCrary

Yes, there was at least one other in the West Region. Swanton Pacific was a point to point. We ranged far out into the wilderness in two counties and never saw camp before the finish. And we had seven checkpoints of various lengths, from a quick check-up with a stop for water to 1-hour holds. For the curious, we haven't made a firm decision as to its future. A few days ago I had some solid offers of help to prepare trails. This could make a big difference in whether we present it again or not. Nothing this year....we're taking a sabbatical.

I too much prefer point to point 100's. At this time, I have
no plans to do any more loop 100's, but plan a couple of
point to points this year.

Are there other point to point 100s besides Tevis?

There aren't any in my region. I do know of some single loop 100s in different places.

I considered doing the Big Bear 100 as a point to point (because I had an almost perfect 100 mile trail for it and had access to camp locations on both ends), and even surveyed people as to their preferences. Virtually everybody said that they would prefer to end where they started...additionally, the logistics of getting vets and crews to all the vet check locations was a night mare, so ti would have been a good eal more expensive.

Personally, I have not gone to Tevis because of the same logistical nightmare aspects of its point to point-ness.
