GOOD WOMEN WANTED
COMPUTERIZATION OF PACIFIC CREST TRAIL DATA
 
Sandra Johnson. Thru-Hiker on the John Muir Trail in 1990, the Pacific Crest Trail in 1991 and the Appalachian Trail in 1992, is organizing a WOMEN'S TRAIL TEAM. The team will be hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, 2638 miles, collecting Trail data on a GPS receiver for a #D profile with mileage and elevation at each way point, in a portable computer, to publish a new trail guide. The team will also be working with the Forest Service, the Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to document, on computer, the maintenance of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Documenting the Trail Function Inventories and Trail Maintenance Surveys on computer will make all trail information readily accessible to the Forest and Park Services, and the BLM. It will be available instantly so a trail crew can be directed to a section of the trail most in need of maintenance. The Forest and Park Services are seeking the aid of the Sierra Club, equestrian groups, Boy and Girl Scout groups, and any other volunteer organization that wants to offer their members time to maintain a section of the trail.
Sandra is looking for WOMEN who are professional photographers, computer specialists and writers to become Trail Team Members. The team is a volunteer organization whose expenses are covered by Grant money.
