Campers don't take potholes lying down

Borgess Run Campers have lost some battles, but say they're out to win the war on potholes this winter.

After some nasty ankle injuries, a number of team leaders gathered to formulate strategies on how to tackle this perpetual problem.

"We think our 'Adopt-A-Pothole' plan will work," said veteran leader Judah Gesmundo.  "Before every Saturday run, we identify the streets we'll be running on, and campers pick a pothole and guarantee that no one will fall into it that week.   So far, so good."

Although "cold asphalt filler" is the preferred method used by campers, spray paint around the edges is another technique.

"The technique I use," says Gesmundo, "is a simple 'money-back guarantee.' Campers pay me each week and if they step in a pothole, I give them their money back."
