Hi,<br><br>I'm a geocacher from Oro Valley, AZ, currently living in Seattle, WA, but moving back to Oro Valley in December. I've been up here on a temporary assignment with my company, and it was while I was up here that I started geocaching. One of the uber cachers in the area, Moun10bike, has an amazing project going called Northwest Trails, that I would like to replicate in the southwest if it doesn't already exists. Moun10bike has this to say about his project (<a href="http://www.switchbacks.com/maps/NW_Trails.html">http://www.switchbacks.com/maps/NW_Trails.html</a>):<br>
<br>"In short, Northwest Trails is a mapset of trails designed for upload to
any map-enabled Garmin GPS receiver. It is more than just a mapset,
though; it is also a community effort initiated to record and collect
GPS data for trails in the Northwest (Washington, Idaho, Oregon,
Montana, Wyoming, British Columbia and Alaska) and provide that data
for general public use."<br><br>I'm proposing doing the same thing for the southwest portion of the United States, which is defined on the web as "<font size="-1">the southwestern region of the United States generally
including New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, California, and sometimes
Utah and Colorad." Since this listserv is for Arizona, and since I'll be living back there soon, I'd like to start there.<br><br>Is this an interesting idea to anybody? Is this already underway somewhere? If people find it interesting, and it's not already underway, I'd like to start collecting tracks for inclusion. Let me know what you think!<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>Mark (GoNorthWest)<br> </font>
