there was discussion of the vests at the last RUSA meeting (just happened to read the minutes last night on the site). It is their understanding that the vest requirement is still there, and they couldn't figure out how to help us get one of those vests, so we're on our own.

RUSA has a rule that a route cannot include repeated loops, no matter how large. I assume that comes from ACP.
