Bob, good point!  I went to a ride earlier this spring and blithely set up my 
camp.  About an hour later a guy came along and told me that my trailer was 
blocking the 'finish line'.  He had absolutely nothing to do with ride 
management, just knew where the course went.  I was sooooo  embarassed and 
mortified to find that I was parked literally across the "race track" for the 
finish line.  of course, I relocated as fast as my little feet could 
relocate.  However, WHAT IF this guy hadn't warned me??? Would I have been 
the cause of a terrible accident?  It is so hard sometimes to see where the 
course is (especially in camp :), I'm not trying to throw blame, but ride 
management needs to ride manage (especially the course).  Does that make 
sense?

Sylvia
