“The simple version? Yeah. And I'm wondering if a version of that could be posted, if not permanently posted, on some kind of temporary basis along the trails at the trailheads.

Thank you for that. Yes, sir.”

This is true of some of the smaller organizations that don't have a lot of volunteer or professional staff.

But do you also have classes where you get more than 100%? I mean, you would think with the instructor being a set cost and the facility being a set cost, you may have classes that are oversubscribed or whatever.”
