Jerry: you raise a very good point. Your concern about what to do with =
stragglers is, in fact, precisely the point: just how much baby-sitting =
do the SC's want to do?
I am getting the picture of a kindergarten class being herded =
across the street by their teacher. Surely as adults we can all arrange =
to get ourselves to point B for a dinner at a certain time, or, in fact, =
for any number of reasons, choose not to attend. And unless we have made =
some arrangements with others, we should be free to tarry, hurry, dally, =
or disappear.
Clearly, all participants should be provided with contact =
information if they really have a problem, but I don't think the SC's =
should have to be responsible for keeping track of the whereabouts of =
individuals. Most will want to travel with others, but there will always =
be some who want to strike out on their own and the SC's should not have =
to be waiting at "check points" (in fact, in our segment we haven't even =
talked about such a thing).

I will try to have a structured route and stop plan, but of course=20
folks can take a different way. My only worry is when
wanderers come up with car problems and can't reach us, for
some reason. We can leave it to them, but I hope we will have
some mechanical assistance and parts available with the structured=20
group. And, we may not be able to get to some wide wanderers
without leaving the rest of the group at loose ends, so they
will have to be self-reliant wanderers. I don't think we can=20
guarantee to be there for them. =20
If we choose a less-structured
option, I believe we have to clearly tell folks the limits of our =
responsibilities=20
to those who take it. What will those limits be? What do we do if
someone fails to show up at an official checkpoint? Structured =
folks=20
can be located easily -- the others? Do we hold up the tour until =
the=20
stragglers are located? Do we arrange a possee to go scare them up?
I hope I can introduce out of towners to some little-known routes=20
here, but they will want to come along with the crowd to see them =
all.
Those in the structured group will be priviledged to strike awe and
wonder into the appreciative inhabitants of Northern California as
a glorious group.
Perhaps there could be some alternative structured paths to choose? =

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? =20
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?

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?
