Anyone know what our wet cousins do up North and East ?
All we can think of is Lumber Crayons ... which aren't THAT big, ie. we're going to need a lot of them!

Ask my Dad how many lumber crayons it takes to mark a course, National Staff used to ask us to use Lumber crayons instead of drywall to mark the ProSolo courses.

The yellow ones are easier to see than the red ones if there's a choice.

We use the yellow ones, over the white lumber crayons, to mark people/cars in the motion picture industry when it's wet.
From the SCCA Forum:
Our region would double cone everything with an extra cone beside the regular cone When a cone was hit, the one beside it was usually untouched and could be used to put the hit cone back in place. Not a perfect solution, but worked great in most downed cone situations.
THAT would be a LOT of cones for our typical courses!

yellow lumber crayons are the standard marking device in the wet northwest.
