>> Project Description:
>> The Arizona Trail is a continuous, non-motorized 817-mile scenic trail

>> 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.

> 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.
