I hiked [[Rogers Ridge Horse Trail]] today. The house you mention that you walk by, do you mean the one to the right on the peak when to the left is the Tri-State Knob? Your description seems to imply it's passed by while still in the forest of the ridge before the bald sections. If so, we saw no evidence of it. By the way, the house on the peak, while still standing has been effectively destroyed. Here's to hoping it's torn down one day. I also don't understand your final sentence in the Trail Description. We found the trail to be fairly well marked and nearly every portion clear where to continue. When was the hike that these updates were based on? Charlie and I suspected some rerouting may have occurred at some point in time. We clocked in 7.0 miles one way. When all descriptions said closer to 6.0. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] ([[User talk:Tim|talk]]) 23:12, 17 October 2015 (EDT)
As you probably have seen I've been playing with the Trail Infobox. My goal was to get a single lat/lon entry work for map the IB table, Gmap centering, and Gmap tag. I got it to work so now the IB template should be just...

The following list are Bays Mountain Hikes that are either missing KML's or the KML is missing data. Any ideas? It's a dynamic list so if there's nothing there, they've all been fixed! (at least cleared of the flag to bring them here).

Essentially the whole bottom business with the GMap extension is gone and moved to the template. See [[WPSP Sinking Waters]] for an example.

Map conversion (nearly?) complete. See [[ClubWiki:Using_GMaps]] for the tips on how to use. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] ([[User talk:Tim|talk]]) 23:12, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

I feel this cleans things up for novices (not that we have many editing) and just ensures everything matches up well plus simplifies editing. The problem is that it appears that you prefer DMS coords which the GMap tag doesn't work with (so all trail pages with DMS lat/lon IB coords are now not working). I can change the template to have more variables for DMS lat/lon and DEG lat/lon, but that puts us almost back to where we were. Still a bit cleaner looking though. Thoughts? --[[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 21:19, 22 May 2012 (MDT)
 
:OK. New extension added so that even though you enter DEG in the wiki it converts it to DMS on the page. It looks like you have a slightly different format, I'll see if I can tweak the calculations to match your old format. Hmmm, need to check what happens to pages already listed in DMS... --[[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 19:34, 23 May 2012 (MDT)
Here it is, try it out... [[Special:RunQuery/Trail_Search]]. Let me know what you think. We need a lot more page updating to give all the trails the correct metadata to make this search work.
