Read this today and found it very interesting, mostly because I got into a bit of an argument with a friend who thought I was calling her dumb because I talked about people "dumbing down trails". I know it fits well with discussions in the past at 909.

GG LOL! Posted on CLIMB's forum on Long Island...they constantly fight the battle there. I noticed entrance to upper Beaver at 909 were destroyed (where it made you go between the trees) was smashed. As Tim says, the trail gnomes will always win.
