I haven't been involved nearly as long as most others on this forum, but I'd have to go with John on this. Most of the "OG" members of the forum have become far more involved with life, making it very difficult to get a coordinated effort on the trail. Some of the younger guys, Edwin, for example, have tried to step in and help, but he has also started to move on, with the possiblity of him not staying in Cali, either.
The statement I'm going to say next might rub people the wrong way, but anyway...I feel like the younger/newer crowd doesn't really want to put the effort into the trail because they'd rather spend the time wheeling or they just think they're contributing to our cause, without really having any buy-in because they haven't been involved with SCCX for very long. This is the feeling I got from our huge combined run with SCXF, some of the guys thought we were doing the run just to get them to help cleanup on our trail. At no time was this mentioned by us, we just needed the hours everyone was on the trail, and we actually got very few people to give us hours, out of over 30 trucks.
BLUF: It's very hard for all of us to balance things now and it's really hard to get buy-in from the newer people on the forum.
