[endurance] trail marking

I'm all for marking the trail. That's all I really ask of ride management.
I can put up with poor vetting (as long as the lines don't make you late
leaving the vet-check). I can put up with PR folks and Timers that don't
know what they are doing (after all those are volunteers and they all can't
know everything). I can put up with crummy food or no food at all. I can
handle all sorts of disorganization.

The most important thing for an endurance ride, in my opinion, is a
well-marked, safe trail of the advertised length.

And, just an aside, for those of you who have not attended rides in the
"West" not all rides, here in the Mountain Region, are marked with
hoof-prints. (Just don't want one "famous" ride to cast dispersions upon
us all).

Just my 2 cents.
