[JONAT] Regroup / Rendezvous Points

[Bob]

Alan

My thoughts on rendezvous / regroup points is that we would have basically 3
per leg.  One is the starting point, the second would be lunch, and the
third being the ending point "official" hotel.  There was a desire earlier
to not make the tour too regimented, so this may be enough (?).  The only
"mandatory" one would be the starting point, so maps distribution /
information / etc. could take place at the start of the day.  I expect there
will be groups that stop for coffee together, etc, but more on an informal
basis.  Anyone have comments on this thought?

Also, the timing for the S&T Maps is such that it allows for a 20 minute
stop in the morning and one in the afternoon, with no set place to stop.
This is set by the slower (i.e. main highways which one would normally
travel at 60 mph have been given a maximum speed of 54 mph to allow for the
stops).  For more details see

|I have been editing the itinerary for my sector using Adobe Acrobat.
|Once I have all the changes made, I will send you the revised pdf file.
|One thing I have added is a small blue circle at each location on the
|map where services (restroom, gas, food) can be found.  I know for lots
|of sectors this would be silly, but on my sector (and Ian's) you can drive
|a long way before seeing civilization sometimes.  It''ll be nice
|for people
|to know when they are passing the 'last bathroom for 75 miles'.
|Have you thought about 'regroup points'?  For example, it is unlikely
|everyone will get through Kenora together, so perhaps we should
|establish some rendezvous points along the way for each day?  Or do
|we just assume everyone will catch up?
|I notice the itinerary does not allow any time for coffee breaks.  Was
|this done on purpose?
