Hello all. Before I embark on a project, I thought I would ask around; does anybody have a Palm Pilot (hanDBase) database of the FS trails? If not, is there a source listing the basic info (location, distance, etc)? I could dig it all by hand from the WTA (et al.), but I'm lazy and avoid such things when I can. If I could get a CSV or other formatted data file, it would be trivial to convert... which could then lead to a good hiking log program. Just curious. Thanks!

No matter where you go, there you are.

Or are you asking about maintaining a database of hikes after you actually come home?
I was meaning after the hike to keep a log of where you've been, times, elevations, etc. To actually carry a Palm on a hike? Lord no. I carry my cell phone grudgingly (and turned off in my pack) for emergency use only. Why lug the stuff around the woods that you are trying to get away from? smile.gif

Here's an idea to get your list started
Hey, that works great! Only a little bit of data twiddling needed... just what I like! Thanks!
