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?

::The thought was time commitment. You could have an easy 1mi hike or an easy 10mi flat ground hike. The other way to indirectly get there would be hiking time but I don't think we're categorizing by that either and like difficulty is quite subjective. The root of my thought was that there are extensions that we can install that would let people search based on multiple categories simultaneously. For example one could search for trails that have all of the following categorical tags, Difficult, Dog Friendly, Tennessee, and if we had it 10-20mi. Currently you can only list/search trails by a single category at a time. If you like it feel free to make up a collection of categories and add it to the category strategy page. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 21:37, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

I'm thinking of making a new infobox but for parks/trail systems. For example, it would be on the Warrior's Path State Park page. Any thoughts (yes/no, what to include/not include, etc...)?

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.

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.
