tony. you know i value your opinion and our friendship. it's not a big secret that i do not like chris or Trail Gear because of how they do business. but that's a whole different issue.
i just sent you a pm with the pics in question. they are not the pics seen in the other threads on any of the forums. these pics were removed for obvious reasons.
yes, we did run the trail together and NONE of us went off the trail at any point or did anything else to jeopardize the future of this trail in any way. the Tg trip did.
it's absolutely true that mark has only been on that trail once, maybe twice but since it was his first trip in his own rig he has very fond memories of the trip and feels strongly about the issue as i do. but i guess that's talking for him so i'll let him respond to that.
maybe i should'nt have mentioned the TLCA along with this issue but i had my reasons. we all know how long chris has been wheeling. we all know how active he is on the boards and in the community. so logic dictates that he knows better than to behave like that on the trail or to let anybody in his group act like that while on a run put on by him or his employer. either way, he along with trail gear as the promoter/organizer is responsible. or irresponsible; however you want to look at it.

i know that trail gear spends a lot of money advertising to generate business. they do so on the boards and in publications. what bothers me is that we have their add in TT. i know i'm not in a neutral corner on this one but then again, i could'nt stand gregg mushro either.
