I do try to be nice, it doesn’t
always work. Maybe if whoever thought it was appropriate to leave the hose
running onto the dirt parking lot and making more mud actually reads the post,
she’ll think about it next time and treat it differently. She sure did
not want to consider the negative effects at the time of the incident.
I’ve also reminded people to pick up the garbage they
“accidently” swept out of their trailer at the same staging area
and tried to be nice as I told them the staging area isn’t really the
best place to be doing their trailer cleaning, that it gives other users a
negative impression of horse owners/trail riders. Heck, maybe I’m just
getting tired of seeing things like that.

also got the impression for the signage that you were supposed to approach from
the rear (right) and pull into a slot diagonally, leaving enough space up front
for trailers to pull forward and drive along the fronts of the vehicles when
leaving. I’ve only been there about a dozen times and everyone approached
and left that way, no problems, no backing, no complaints. Lynelle is right
though, if you haven’t been down at the next lot, the single track,
switchback type forest trail is beautiful.
People
do have big control issues sometimes. Once I suggested to someone that they lay
the running hose on the ground pointing away from the parking area to reduce
mud and encourage grass on the other side of the rail at the Auburn Overlook,
they were very indignant and said grass would grow on the parking side of the
rail if we let the hose run there! NO WAY, all it does is create MUD, mud and
more mud because of all the vehicle traffic there, then we have to tack up in
the mud (:<( And actually I hadn’t even said anything at first, just
saw an unattended running hose and picked it up and pointed it onto the grassy
area and she jumped all over me for moving “her” hose. I wonder if
she’s reading this…
