But they'll be in their cars with the heater on full blast as they drive to the 
next spot. 

I've done a couple of 24 rogaines, so I know what it's like to walk for 24 
hours, but we had good weather, and a base camp with someone cooking and 
keeping a fire going. 

You could cover quite a big distance in 24 hours if you go from point to point, 
but not so much if you use one base camp. I'm curious about how you're going to 
manage the overnight bit. 

The out and back loops we did in rogaines covered several habitats - gullies, 
ridges, farmland, etc - so it will be interesting to see how you go.
