Re: [RC] To Ramy Jisha and BG 100 - rides2far

I attended my first Endurance ride somewhere around '90-92'.not sure
exactly..and if you don't know about any horse deaths, as my 
granddaddy used> to say, "you were born under a turnip". :-)

Gosh Jim,
You make it sound common. I've been competing since 87 and have *first
hand* knowledge of exactly one death. Which is exactly  how many I'd had
witnessed *pleasure* riding. (neither were mine)

I rode the old Telico Plains trail last Friday...I had forgotten how 
steep> that dang thing was!  

Yep. I know it well! Here's a Tellico story for those who think drag
riders or spotters would be a plus for management. I had an old "cowboy
wannabe" who helped us out marking & clearing trail. Right at the top of
that *big* Mountain climb Jim's talking about we had a confusing
intersection. I marked it all to pieces, with flagging, arrows & signs
with X's, then asked Glen to ride up that morning and stay there.  I
heard from riders later that they came galloping up, said, "Which way?"
and he said, "Read the danged signs! We didn't make all these signs for
nothin'"!
