Help needed list:
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)

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).

:The infobox should just be the trail head. If you want a detailed map, add another embedded Google map under the "map" section of the main article. Then it can be as big as needed. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:47, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

For parks, I am thinking of creating recommended hike routes since some of the trails (like Pine at BMP) are just connectors, thus not really worthy of their own trail page.  Willing to discuss further.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 16:26, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

I see that you copied the AT trail g-map from the main website.  Need to understand how you plan to merge it with the main list or keep separate?  Some of the destinations on the current list are really along the AT.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 06:35, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
:Not sure what I have planned, I do want to get the AT stuff over here as well for the same reasons as the other trails (easy editing, consistent,...). I'm thinking eventually The AT link on the main page would dump people over to here. I will eventually convert the AT trail map to use the embedded pins instead of a KML for easy modification. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:47, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
 
Pins on the g-maps are to be for the trailhead - right?  Jake has them all over. Was going to move the state park pins to the headquarters buildings.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 06:35, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
:Regular embedded gmaps can have whatever and as much as we want, pictures, features, etc... I'd say that infoboxes be just for trail heads --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:47, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
 
Standard for coordinates in infobox.  Been using decimal formal DD.DDDDD,-DD.DDDDD, but more use to working in DD MM.MMM,-DD MM.MMM style.  Yes, it would involve another conversion, but likely able to read right off the GPSr.  So what is the standard?  Add it to the creating trail info.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 07:52, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
:You have to be careful about not messing up the info boxes. See [[WPSP Devil's Backbone]]. The link to bring them over to Google maps so they can do a destination routing is now broken. My personal preference is the decimal format, but mostly because I know that's what Google maps understand. Not sure if it can tolerate DMS. Then if we display DMS but the pins in GMaps needs decimal, then we would be setting ourselves up for confusion. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:47, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
 
How to delete a no longer used page?  "Sinking Waters" is now "WPSP Sinking Waters" and "Devil's Backbone" is "WPSP Devil's Backbone" to maintain the consistency of having park prefix on their trails.  Needed as "Overlook" and "Lakeside" are common to several parks.  Have fixed all broken links, so the redirect pages are no longer required.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 07:33, 17 March 2011 (EDT)

Trail search alpha[edit]

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.
