I second what Zman said.  I ride Croom all the time and I see the Croom retails being delivered and picked up.

patches would you be willing to do some trail marking? :bow.gif   something simple like red for the sand pit and green for the campground. If I could be up there every week end I would love to mark a trail just so people can get around better. I love croom and have been there 10+ times and know my way around no problem.  but I always run into people on the trail that dont know where there at or how to get back to either the sand pit or the campground.      I would love to ride the trail marked patches206 :deal.gif :drive.gif :H  hahahahaha
