No equipment to carry. Your bag and tent are loaded up every morning and driven to that night's destination. Of course when you get there there's the fun of looking at a sea of bags to find yours. I guess that's when interesting neon tape all over comes in handy. There is also a company that you can hire (for around $250 for the week) that will have a tent set up, all your gear waiting, and a cold drink for you when you arrive after each day of riding. Seems like that would take some of the adventure out of the journey.

A friend of my daughter's is on the SAG crew. He has informed me that I can consider him my personal mechanic during the ride if needed. He then had the nerve to say that he'd give me a ride in the van if I couldn't make the distance any day. Yes, I let him have it for implying that this old lady can't keep up with those 20-somethings like himself.
