We did the petition thing and it did get a little interest stirred up by the city, but not enough. I would also go to the press. Not a letter to the editor, but call your local small paper, tell them about yourself, and see if they'll run a story. I was fighting for trails and road signs in this city. One of my city council men hinted to me that that would help. I talked to the local papers about how I was doing (attempting) Tevis. Do you know they thought that was so freaky that they ran a story in both papers. It was basically, "This old broad (40ish) is riding a HORSE!! in the mountains and trying to go 100 MILES! and she has ridden a bit of distance before!! and she say's the trails here in the city are DANGEROUS!!! and that the city won't help other old people like herself to have safe trails, and the city won't put up the signs that they have in a box gathering dust!!!" Coulda been in the National Enquirerer along with" freak woman has Satans babies, and they have 6 heads." Never the less, the signs and stuff was done in less than a month after that story came out, one city official called me and whined about the evil press, and one came over and sucked up and had a beer with my spouse.
