Re: [RC] marking tape and cloths pins - Linda Parrish

Okay, I'm way behind in reading my emails, but I just had to add to this
one....

My all-time-favorite was marking trail with the clothes pin ribbons one day,
then while going back out to check prior to the ride, I found one section of
about two miles where some poor soul had took the time to un-tie the ribbons
and drop them on the ground and take the clothes pins. >sigh<
I would have gladly bought them a bag of clothes pins, bless their hearts,
if I had just known they needed some so bad! >g<

If you do tie your marking tape to clothes pins, to mark trail, don't

bother

if it is in an area that has a lot of pleasure riders, hikers, or public
access. Seems that the ease to unclip those clothes pins is just beyond

the

self control of some folks. I have seen more trails UNMARKED before a ride
that used clothes pins, than rides that tied direct to the trees etc.  We
have even had clothes pin attached ribbons unclipped, and redirected down

a

wrong trail. <sigh> Folks who do that crap rate right up there with those
who create computer viruses. Don't they have something better to do???????
