I would love to vote for the local project, but:
1) Message delivery failed.
2) I don't feel like giving up my private information to the website to
enable my voting ( I get PLENTY of spam as it is) <cue music from Monty
Python SPAM skit>.

<pre wrap="">Since many of us have hiked along portions of the Arizona Trail at
least once during our caching adventures, I thought the following may
be of interest to the list:
The Arizona Trail is one of five finalists to win the Greater Outdoors
Project grant. You can help the Arizona Trail win by voting online
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.greateroutdoorsproject.com/vote">http://www.greateroutdoorsproject.com/vote</a>
) or texting the word "trail" to 39668 every day until midnight ET on
May 31, 2009. The organization that receives the greatest number of
votes will be awarded a $50,000 grant and be featured in an upcoming
Redwood Creek advertising campaign.
Project Description:
The Arizona Trail is a continuous, non-motorized 817-mile scenic trail
across Arizona from Mexico to Utah. It links deserts, mountains,
canyons, forests, communities and people. The trail was envisioned in
the early 1980s by Dale Shewalter, a Flagstaff, Arizona, school
teacher, who convinced others to join him in making it a reality. The
Arizona Trail Association was formed to coordinate the planning,
development, management, and promotion of the Arizona Trail for the
recreational and educational
experiences of non-motorized trail users.
Today, 95 percent of the trail is complete, thanks to the efforts of
countless volunteers, government agency partners, and small and large
businesses. The last five percent of unconstructed miles are some of
the most difficult with many in remote central Arizona south of
Superior, in the aspen-clad San Francisco Peaks north of Flagstaff,
and in the rugged Rincon Mountains east of Tucson. The grant would be
used to build some of the most difficult remaining miles. Due to the
remote location in a rugged wilderness area, these miles must be
constructed by hand. Not only will the grant help complete the trail,
it will allow access into backcountry near Tucson and protect a
sensitive riparian area as well.

AzGeocaching and The Phoenix Linux Users Group (PLUG) will be teaming up
to do an OpenStreetMap training and Mapping party.
What is OpenStreetMap you ask....
OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as
street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because
most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical
restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in
creative, productive, or unexpected ways.
Contributors to OpenStreetMap take handheld GPS devices with them
on journeys, or go out specially to record GPS tracks. They record
street names, village names and other features using notebooks, digital
cameras, and voice-recorders.
Back at the computer, contributors upload those GPS logs showing
where they travelled, and trace-out the roads on OpenStreetMap's
collaborative database. Using their notes, contributors add the street
names, information such as the type of road or path, and the connections
between roads.
That data is then processed to produce detailed street-level maps,
which can be published freely on sites such as Wikipedia, used to create
handheld or in-car navigation devices, or printed and copied without
restriction.
This all starts out at PLUG's East side meeting which is held on the
second Thursday of every month, the 14th of this month, with an
introduction to OpenStreetMap given by a OpenStreetMap representivive
Hurrican McEwen, on what is OpenSteetMap and how to use it.
Then on the 16th and 17th, there will be mapping parties using Boulders
On Broadway as a base camp.Ope
