I did the Cascade 1200 in 2006, and I agree, the support was superb.  
I also liked the style of having overnight controls.  I think that  
makes it easier to support a loop route: the volunteers only have to  
cover one section at a time since the riders regroup every night.  
Also, with the long days around the summer solstice at high  
latitudes, you get 16+ hours of daylight every day.  It is possible  
to do the whole thing in daylight and see all that beautiful  
scenery.  As was previously stated, the best part is the last day on  
the North Cascades Highway over Washington and Rainy passes.
