Re: [RC] Trail Markings - Barbara McCrary

Even on a road or trail where there is no place to turn off, we like to hang a ribbon about every 1/4 mile, just as a "security ribbon."  It's such a comfort to see that ribbon while riding along, even if common sense says you didn't miss a turn somewhere.

As long as there was a very distinct, non removable, can't be vandalized, can't be missed item (not just a person because they can go away :'() marking where you are supposed to leave the road I would be okay with no markings.

I am interested in hearing from everybody:

You are on a 100 mile ride.
The trail follows a 10'-18' wide jeep road.
This road has NO place to turn off of it for 10+ miles.
There is a person at the intersection to get onto the trail telling you
which way to go to get onto the road.

How many, how often do you want any kind of trail markings?
