Orange Ribbons
Orange fluorescent ribbons (the kind used for construction flagging and surveying)
may be tied onto such things as sign posts, telephone poles, trees, etc.
at action points on the route. They will generally be tied so that there are
two
tails of the ribbon about 2 or 3 feet long or so. Orange ribbons will only
be used at action points and never just for confirmation purposes only.
The orange ribbons act like a warning. You won't know exactly what
you will need to do, but at least you'll know you need to do something.
Unlike the Dan Henry marks painted on the ground, the orange ribbons are
raised off the ground and really stand out. You can easily seen them as
you're
actually riding and can often be seen from a quarter mile away or
more especially
if they
are
flapping in the wind.
There may be some
locations where there
simply are not any good places to tie the orange ribbons so we may
tie one
onto a tall blade of grass since something is better than nothing.
We will never tie an orange ribbon to a stalk of corn or any other crop.
