2 adequate – “Another stop would be nice.”
0 inadequate – ”I needed more support!”

Were rest stops spaced appropriately?

37 Yes 1 No

At each stop, was there enough food?

29 Yes 3 No

Too many, Put on tops of hills or just after, More variety would’ve been nice, More porta-potties J, First stop could be at 15 mile before 34 climb. Although I missed the first stop, perhaps stop#1 could be more visible.
