Summary: <p>On April 20th, I was on the 303 Trail Monitor Facebook page and saw that someone called James Kovaly had posted some pictures of a sign he had placed on one of the crown jewels of the trail system known as “Buffalo Creek” and this generated a storm of controversy.</p><p>The sign, sitting off to the side of what looks to be a 3 out of 5 switchback reads “Don’t Skid” “Skidding destroys the trail”. This was like red rag to a bull for many of the red blooded 303 Trail members who wrote comments like “I give it 5 years before we have stop lights and cops enforcing speed limits out there”</p><p>Listen to the two of us discussing why James, a leader within the <a href="http://www.comba.org" target="_blank">COMBA</a> organization, worked with the Forest Service to place these signs.</p><p>Download on Stitcher</p><p>Listen on iTunes</p><p>Listen on Google</p><p><a href="http://comba.org/" target="_blank">COMBA's Web Site</a></p><p><a href="http://comba.org/projects/none/annual-members-party#.WQTy-torJEY" target="_blank">COMBA's Annual Members' Party - May 18th</a></p><p><a href="http://comba.org/projects/buffalo-creek#.WQTzeNorJEY" target="_blank">Details about Buffalo Creek</a></p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
