Ridecamp: [RC] Trail Marking using paint

I've seen a few references to using paint to mark trail -- biodegradeable
and/or chalk-based. I'm REALLY interested in this and need more info. Brand
names? Where to buy?

I need to contact the park offices soon and find out what they will or won't
let us use and want to have all of my ducks in a row before I call. This is
the same park office that objects to volunteers doing anything other than
basic trail maintenance with clippers or pruners, but then goes in with a
bulldozer, indiscriminantly tearing down trees and backfilling over culverts
with clay soil. (doh!) Good thing our volunteers put in three new bridges,
brush-hogged around bogs and boggy trail and fixed another bridge before
they were told not to drive their equipment into the park.... yes, it is
easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

So I need some time to convince them that our intentions are pure and that
we are not trying to add permanant markings.

(And, yes, we are working with the park to try and convince them that the
same trail maintenance techniques that work for snowmobile, hiking and
cross-country skiing trails don't necessarily work for horse trails!)

Deanna (lacking both a really tall horse or a horse that will allow me to
stand in the stirrups long enough to tie or clip something to a tree)
