Hello all, I spoke with Dean Devlin, the GIS guy from the Siusilaw Forest Service in Reedsport (very very nice guy) and they welcome our help. It seems that a Magellan or Garmin should work as long as it can be connected to the computer for download. It needs to be in its default setting WGS84. We must run a test and send it to him prior to spending any time mapping so we can insure it will work with their system. We also need to coordinate to make sure we are not over-lapping each other. Again, this is just for the Dunes, Sand Lake, Hebo area, and all trail networks in the Siusilaw. We still need folks in the other Forest Service areas but I am not sure how we can collect data for those areas or even if they will welcome our assistance. If you are able to map - for any area - please let me know so we can make sure your time and efforts will count. I am going to focus on Siusilaw for now and need people willing to commit to a riding area. For those who ride elsewhere - please please please contact those district offices and take the lead!! We ALL need to participate if we are to be successful at keeping our favorite trails open. Thank you!! Lindy
