[Cdt-l] Gentle Reminder

[Andrew James]

Now that the route has been established, maybe a better idea would be to
put competent people out there with gps receivers to correctly put up
proper markers. That seems a lot more rational than giving everybody a box
of flagging and thinking it will somehow end up in the right place.

I'm betting most people would still get the items on your list.

souls. That's all.
