One of three Western States. That's the location of the 2009 Primal Quest expedition race. But which one? For those who like to speculate, I have some helpful clues.
Dawn Taylor Mann told me the race will not be in a state that has already hosted a Primal Quest. So cross off Colorado, Washington, Utah and Montana. The Tahoe race, was that in California or Nevada? She wasn't sure. So maybe we keep those two in.
PQ Course Director Chris Caul said the 2009 Primal Quest will be in a state that has not yet hosted an expedition length adventure race. I don't have enough beta on that to know which states to rule out...
So why the switch from wanting to take Primal Quest international in 2009? Caul said it's because states saw what Montana got out of the 2008 Primal Quest, and they want some of that action. In fact, Caul said, at least one state has offered to assemble a team to guide PQ through the application and permitting processes. It's a whole new world!

The vast majority of the 2003 SPQ took place in CA. I believe the only part in Nevada was a small portion of the Lake Tahoe paddle. HQ has about a block from the NV/CA state line (we stayed in Harah's). I had a great time as a volunteer at the 2003 SPQ! (except for the night I had food poisoning)
