I just never got around to it.

I was just reading through a TAT thread from 2010 tonight and came across this:
".Recently I sent an email to Sam to see what he thinks about people sharing GPS tracks of TAT...
> Hi Sam,
> Are you in favor of or against the free distribution of GPS tracks of TAT,
> that others have recorded while following your maps and roll charts?
> Thanks,
> Scott
And Sam's response...
I am against it. It is wrong and unfair.....there
is no way to prevent this from happening...Free distribution hurts future
developement of this project and this hurts ALL of the riders.........Sam
I'd say the same holds for distributing the paper maps and roll charts. If you ride TAT and don't pay Sam, you're cheaing him, and taking away the motivation for him and others like him to create new rides."
Just wanted to air that. Lefty
