Land Use for Idiots…?

[jackjoh]

Thanks for the links, that helps a lot. I will get going on this soon, but I have to move back to CO this weekend so it will be a week or two before I can get to it.

Jack,
Lets coordinate what you are including/writing if you have started already.



My goal is to keep this clear, concise, and easy to follow. I am going to pull some journalism tricks out of my hat to make that happen, and I think I can come up with a draft that will hopefully make a big difference in awareness of new people to the forum/sport.

I have some U4, CAL4, TreadLightly, etc. stuff plus our own thoughts that
should get us started. Hope to post up by Friday.

Too much other stuff going on, will post up tonight or Monday.

This is just the outline but you get the idea. I am thinking short paragraphs to explain basics and web sites to get more details.

1. Welcome
2. Read RME rules
3. Basic rules of the road.
4. Land use
5. What you can do to help

I'm liking it so far Jack!

Now that I am back in town and have read the posts over again I should never make a promise and break it. I hope to be able to post up the stuff I promised next week. There is just too much going on at this time. My apologies.
