We had been grinding our axe for YEARS, and we have solved (we think) the 
dogs-in-camp problem.  We have set aside an area in which people who have 
brought their dogs may camp.  Lud, in one of his treasured moments of 
light-heartedness, named it Dogtown, and we put up signs indicating it as 
such.  The riders seem to enjoy the humor, and they appreciate being able to 
bring their dogs and camp with them. The restrictions, however, are 1) No 
dogs in the main camp, 2) No loose dogs, 3) No dogs at the Start/Finish 
line, 4) No dogs in the State or County parks, and 5) Dogs may be walked on 
leash only.  I'm sure there have been some infractions behind my back, but 
in general, response has been positive and dog incidents greatly reduced. 
And....with the rules in place, if someone comes into the main camp with a 
dog, I just tell them this is not allowed.  Generally, they are so happy to 
be able to bring their dogs at all, that they comply with the rules of the 
management.
