It may involve a 'day' run or two (note: Bruce is referring to the ACC standard joke about a "day" run sometimes ending up to be 15-20 hours long..) and you need to make do for days with what you have in your Cruiser. In my case It was very luxurious to have the option of hauling my trailer on some of the trails but if I came again I would leave it in town. Two people can live quite happily out of a 40. Let people know that it could rain every day, there might be thick mosquitoes the whole time, ACT runs generally involve one feast every other day and some snacking in between. Also remind them that no one goes hungry, all the vehicles come home, the wilderness is like none other and the friendships will last forever.
