I'll be at D2R2, for my fifth year. It's an incredibly beautiful route, and

find a bailout route if it stops being fun. Bring a map, pencil, and paper
if you're concerned. You'll find locals and D2R2

The 100k is not easy, but it's a much more manageable route, and there are
bailout points throughout.
All that aside, D2R2 a great event. Friendly crowd, lot o' of
