Let me ask this question. When you see the barricade above do you:
A.) Stop and Turn Around
B.) Stop get out and see what is going on
C.) Run over the cones and keep going
It seems the dirt bike people prefer option C. We had a couple people run the cones over and just keep going. Terry Savery had to walk down there and turn them around multiple times. We had 1 person stop and see what was happening which is fine, and we only had 1 person stop, turn around, and go back.
The kicker is when we left Arrowhead I thought, naw we don't need the other barricades/cones. I learned my lesson. Its better to have them with and not use them at all, than to be stuck with not enough stuff to barricade with. Because we have 4 fold out Type II barricades, and a total of 10 cones. That day we had 4 cones, and 1 barricade, which obviously wasn't enough.
I know its going to take some good coordinating and all of our supplies in June to effectively block off the trails/re-route traffic. Especially while we are doing the bypass widening on Rock Mnt Loop, a trail that has a lot more traffic.
