Yes we did I would say when you start riding at 7:00 pm and get home at 8:00 am the next morning, I would say that is staying the night.
When i was in wyoming last year some dude was left behind and he had his sled barried bad by a culvert by a trail... we went flying by then we stopped cuz the guy in the lead thought he saw something, sure enough this guy was trying to dig his sled out... i think he would been there a while getting it out alone it took four of us a while to get his sled out.
I guess the inlaws were back at the truck for him LOL.

Riding their whole life kinda people, 240hp sled people.
people that don'y check if your behind them at all times.
(my sled has 150 hp and a 144 track.)
You need some new friends, not keeping track of the slower or less experienced riders in your group is pretty $hitty!

We stop at every intersection to try and minimize stopping time.

Hmmm excuse me? I am not "slower" or inexperienced.
It's Mostly the sled. When were boondocking through the trees and we have to pull a hill to keep going, and they make it up and you don't or get stuck.
Im not saying you have to have a updated high-horse sled to go anywere.
It's just hard when your riding in the really steep and deep.

I have a cabin 50 miles from the hiway..so I constantly am checking behind me to make sure everyone is there.. I chech/headcount after every obstacle as well as normally have one of my trusted riders bringing up the rear in case anyone has problems.....I have rescued a dozen plus riders over the years...they have gotten lost..seperated, out of fuel..most dont even have the simple things like a map for the area they ride....when I ride new areas I put in waypoints on every direction change...also look back at every trail junction so I will reconize it on the way out.....
I wasn't concerned the other night when it got dark, and we were busting trail down an unknown 'shortcut'.......
nope wasn't concerned at all.
I had SPOT!

It's the same rule now in riding as it was about 20 years ago in the Army.
You go in together, you come out that way.
No exceptions and no excuses.
To leave someone behind is unforgivable.
People, our friends, can get dead that way.
Yes, I've spent the nights out during arctic training,
Didn't like it much either.
I keep the pack filled with shelter, road flares, an MRE, about 4 pairs of spair gloves, Shovel, and all the usual stuff for sledding and avi rescue missions.

I carry a flare gun, guaranteed to sear your rhoids if you leave me behind
