As a ride manager of 30+ years'
standing, I personally don't need thanking, because we have such great
adventures out on the trail, clearing, marking setting up water troughs,
etc. But...I certainly would appreciate riders thanking the
volunteers...P&R, timers, trailer drivers, traffic control, etc. Even
the folks that have the lowly job of hauling the outhouses on 50-mile round
trips so riders have these conveniences. Please remember to thank the
volunteers!! They work hard for you...and for the ride management.
Without them, there would be no rides.
And Heidi...please bring ME a lobster
cake. Yummmmm!

Pacific 75/100 "The Most Beautiful Trail in the World"
I just like to have rides to go to ! If they are well
marked, with fabulous views, perfect weather, lobster cakes for lunch, new
trailers for completion prizes, then great. But... I am only expecting a
day on trail with my horse, and I am an "easy keeper ! " I try to personally
thank all the volunteers and everyone that is making even the smallest
effort. I urge everyone to do the same, and keep these wonderful people
continuing to put on rides. I am sure they are raking in about 5 cents
an hour - before taxes !!
Happy with my homemade peanut butter & jelly sandwich, Heidi
Helly !!!
