Tip # 9: Work Party Ahead!

When working out on a trail and a trail user approaches, let the trail user know that there are other workers ahead. Also, if your close enough, shout out to the other workers that someone is approaching. Try to avoid surprises. If you are working in a pretty blind section, neon colored cones on both ends of the work party may be necessary.
