One of the reasons that Todd always kept the trail he picked for the VX run off of the interweb was that the BLM will sometimes go looking on the internet for groups that are trying to skirt the insurance requirements. Then they will show up and hammer somebody with fines and such. This is why trail runs are organized "ad hoc" these days.

Perhaps it would be possible to set a time in the evening for sort of a meeting of the minds to pick trails for the next day, so folks with other priorities (such as kids) don't have to wait around for hours.

Or better yet, assign someone who is going to hang out at the stoop as your proxy and have them call you with the scoop when it becomes known...
