Thank you Kathie..for what you did, and what you do.

Folks don't realize how easy it would be for the Forest Service to close the 
Tevis down.

> Subject: [RC]   Jeremy's crew mistake
> Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 10:23:31 -0700
>
> Yes, it was a serious mistake and should only be discussed in the light of 
> which riders can discuss behavior with their crew members to understand how 
> imperative it is that they abide and behave and are courteous and 
> respectful of others.
>
> The safety issue was a serious one and almost got a volunteer seriously 
> injured or even killed. Also there was  transport trailer w/a horse in it 
> that had to back up "uphill" on that narrow road.
>
> Verbal abuse and disrespect was also an issue.
>
> So please riders, please share w/present and future crew individuals AND 
> owners if that applies, to respect the officials, volunteers, check point 
> heads, and RULES INCLUDING SAFETY issues. They are in place for a reason 
> and to keep all safe thru out the day.  They are not friviolous, they are 
> to be adhered to for a reason.
>
> Also, there are many many volunteers that try very hard to make things go 
> well for the riders and their crews.  If crews don't do their part there is 
> much more work to do and we are all tired just like everybody else!
>
> At Robinson, we gave out garbage bags for cleanup.  It still took us about 
> 3.5 hours to clean up all the hay, mash and mess/garbage before we could 
> leave that checkpoint.  The forest service is very picky up there and if we 
> don't leave it clean then it makes getting a permit again more difficult.  
> I got yelled at by a crew member because I was doing my job giving out hay 
> in a bag to make is simple.  Go figure.
>
> Also, some crew folks were trying to "park on the sly" in an area that the 
> pilot car and others were trying to get back by.  I was out there with the 
> Forest Service guy trying to put stuff there to block it. He was not happy. 
>  I was trying REALLY hard to help him do this to make efforts and a good 
> example that we DO care and want to FOLLOW the rules they give us for use 
> of the place to appease him and show some respect for that area in general.
>
> Much to think about.
