Bob. We all owe you a deep debt  of gratitude for the work you have done and
continue to do.  You are an excellent example of what the BCHA talk about when
they say "never, never, give up!"  How we pass on your attitude to others is
beyond me.  Continued leadership and setting a good example is where we are
now.  In Indiana we are looking at the idea of all endurance riders
pledging at
least 10 hours of trail maintenance work each year.  Its in the thought
process.  Kind of a new idea that I think has a lot of merit.  If you work for
your trails, then you may pay more attention to what is happening  with
them..Jerry
