That sounds do-able. One downside of the BBQ getting bigger is
that everyone can't be in the same place at the same time so we
don't all get to participate in all the action firsthand. But, I
guess that is true wether its two groups or one large group.
If we decide to do something like that, I guess I should get
cracking on the "road signs".
One downside of going in groups is that its nice to have everyone
in the same place down at the waterfall, and also at the pit. I
don't think I could stand knowing that there was a group making an
assult on the pit or (especially) the waterfall and I'm not there to
see it. :-) The only place that it seemed to me the large group
was a problem was on the trails themselves.
Maybe we can come up with some sort of arrangement where there
can be a couple of different groups for riding trails but still
get everyone down to the waterfall in a group. Maybe splitting
the group between trail riding and the mud pit would work (seeing
as how most of us are pretty familiar with the mud pit by now)
in the morning, but then after lunch, organize the entire contingent
when heading down to the waterfall. We could probably even head
down to the waterfall in 2 or 3 different groups, which would
eventually bottleneck, but should be a more enjoyable ride in
general.
