Trail Ready
Greetings once again! This thread is to log the hours that Rising Sun spends on trails in 2019.
Hours to be logged for the 2019 year must occur between October 1, 2018 through Sept 30th, 2019.
From last year's thread:

From last year's thread:
2018 has shaped up to be a stellar year for logging trail hours. Keep your tires dirty and the shiny side up so you can keep logging the time spent enjoying Colorful Colorado.This information is valuable not just to us, but to the branches of government that manage our public lands. It shows that we maintain a presence outside of the forum and follow through with our verbal commitment to use, respect, and maintain public access lands. Our hours submitted the COA4WDCi, BLM, and NFS indicate this commitment and our tracks left behind indicate our use and passion- the most important defense to rely on in the event of an attempted trail closure or land seizure. Simply put, our documented use of trails is our best defense for keeping public access to the beauty that Colorado has to offer.
In continuing Travis's efforts, I'll quote is post from the original thread about trail hours:
Time spent on the trail DOES include time door-to-door apart from camping and eating inside establishments. This time is recorded as a donation, and your commute to the donation site (trail) is a valid contribution as well. I sincerely wish we could count hours spent sleeping or unconscious because that's what I think most politicians do but I've got other battles to fight. So sleeping doesn't count.

I'd like to request that trail leaders take note of the number of participants and log the hours spent. Please post the following on your trip report thread and/or in this thread:

No amount of time is too small- logging every hour helps us, Colorado, and responsible 4WD access across the state.
Thanks for your efforts and Happy Trails!
