Wigglebot, can you clarify what you mean by this? What is the difference
between a job and a task?
Realize that when a trail day leader doesn't know you or you capabilities, he
or she has to start with " get rocks" and " get dirt, but it has to be this's
inorganic gold coloured dirt, not the dark organic mud". Only once the leader
knows you can they say " rebuild this corner with a grade reversal and build a
retaining wall on the out slope."
The only way to build this relationship is by coming out. Builders Academy,
TAP sponsored trail days and public trail days. There are 15 or so TAP build
leaders so getting to know one or two of them isn't that hard if you come out.
Keep in mind that public trail days have many more random people show up, vs
TAP sponsored days that typically have a much smaller consistent group of
dedicated people. IMO, this is the biggest advantage we have with TAP- getting
to know the capabilities of a smaller volunteer base.
