Yes, you have it right; what we have envisioned for the Victoria-Vancouver segment is an opening and a closing dinner. For the rest, participants are on their own, but they will be provided with optional tour routes, lists of restaurants, service locations, sights, etc. Obviously there will be a lot of informal groupings. People do like to do things together. But this way, we all set our own schedules within certain limits. To quote the Anglican dictum: "All may; none must".

Subject: RE: [JONAT] SECTOR ROUTES
Just so I fully understand where this is going, the thought is to have, for each Sector, only two "official"stops: one at the very start, and one at the very end. Between these two official stops, we have two options for the participants: the first would be a little more structured with recommended evening stops and perhaps recommended stops for eats; the second would be to meet with the structured part of the Tour where they wish, except making sure they are at the beginning and end of each Sector.
Am I understanding this correctly?
My comments : to be honest I saw the Tour as a little more towards the structured end. This new less structured option will have definitely some appeal to a number of people, giving them more freedom. Others will appreciate camaraderie and organization of the structured option. And still others will choose structure some days, and freedom others. The idea has got me thinking a little more "out of the box".
I'd definitely like to hear comments from all the SC's and the International Coordinators as well on this, particularly those that are regular multi-day tour goers. Anyone have experience with a two structure type of tour?

Jamie: excellent! much better! This gives everyone a more relaxed pace, but still maintains a structure.

In view of Gregory's request (& the fact that the routing for Oregon & Washington didn't come out exactly the way I was thinking), I'm going to re-run those two Sectors and I'm planning on more evenly distributing the time versus days. I am now thinking that setting a stopping point each night is a bit anal and ludicrous. If we have a main starting point and time at the beginning and a main stopping point or gathering location at the end of a Sector (agreed to by the following Sector for their starting point), this should do the trick. Along the way we can of course have a "suggested route" with suggested stops of interest listed. These stops could be a regular listing on the main web page for that particular Sector (perhaps with their own maps showing how/where from the "suggested routing" and at what point to "divert". Along with the original idea of suggested lodging, eateries, fuel stops, mechanical services and parts, all these can feed from that web page.
Comments?
