Hiking is one of my favorite activities. When ever I tried to search for trail information I was bombard with sites that wanted me to sign up or sites that had next to useless information. In 2005 I started to create a list of trails in Wordpad and added notes each time I would go on a hike. After a while my list looked better than any of the info I could find on the web. I spent some time learning how to integrate Google Maps and put everything together.
