Effectively, we enjoy it every time we know you enjoy it.<br /><br />And it's not hard work when there are many people helping. Some by just being considerate when they're using the trail -- you know, not littering, being sure to pick up after our dogs, etc. And others go beyond the call of duty and help make up for a few folks that haven't quite been so considerate.<br /><br />One way or another, the trail doesn't 'get beautified' by accident.<br /><br />So if you're one of the official (or UNofficial) volunteers that help keep the trail beautiful...

So email us your site-links if you consider yourself a 'community builder'. We'll look forward to getting to know you.<br /><br />We will also welcome pictures that you may already have out there posted on the net somewhere. Just email us and tell us where they are, and we'd like to post them along with your name/nickname so that our regular trail users will soon get to know each other better.<br /><br />Monon.net will become THE place to come, to form groups for running, hiking, skating, biking.<br /><br />And as we get to know each other better, via 'comments', pictures and emails, we'll also be adding authorized posters here to the site so that the rate of conversation & information can accelerate even.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing your thoughts &amp; ideas...<br /><br />...for Monon.net -- <em>"Hookin' Up On The Monon"</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10960673-110893016227176233?l=monon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>IndyChristiannoreply@blogger.com0
