Hello Nanno
Thanks for confirming my "Hazy" memory of Trail Edicate. It has been years since I did any serious trail work.
I do suspect most of the City Folk on Mountain bikes will have NO idea of trail manners and have their earphones in with "distracting" music on or talking on their cell phones.
Back Packers might have an idea of trail manners. When weather warms and drys out I'll have to start walking the boy's on the trail back to North Lake BTY: It is still a Man Made Drinking Water Reservoir for Greenville water system.
NO Swimming but you can fish,Ducks and Geese do you know what in it.
I expect people using the Primitive sites there either pack in water or use water filters for drinking /cooking water.
Take the water out of the lake and run it through their filter systems.
Or they pack in bottled water.
It will be interesting to see how much trash is around those sites.
Going in with Empty packs and packing out trash for the Park Service and making sure they know it will be good for Browne Points.
From what I see on Park maps a round trip to North lake and to the trail head were I will park is 5-8 miles.
I do have some of the filter bottles myself.
Maybe I'll start a thread "Using Pack Goats around City Folks"
Happy Trails
