Every page has a search box for items on
this web site and a link to a site map near
the bottom of the page.
The symbol
is used to mark newly added items (usually followed by the date it
was added). These are typically removed after about one month or
if the item is no longer current.
The Significant changes to these web pages link
on the home page points to recently changed interior pages of the
site. Only major changes are listed here. Frequent users of the site
should look here and at the news items occasionally. There are also
newly added links to exterior sites.
The last line of most pages is the date that the page was last
changed. Please
about pages which look like they are getting stale and need
updating. Also
about dead links.

Sterling Forest Partnership is
a separate web site which we maintain in space shared with the Trail
Conferences web pages. It has different navigation aids.
There are many links to pages outside our domain, particularly
on the other links page. We have no control
over their content or the ability to return to the Trail Conference
site, but the BACK button of your browser usually works. Push it
enough times and you will get back to our pages. Many of them will
pop up the linked-to site in a new window which you can close when
you are done with it.
Forums/Discussion Groups
The Trail Conference provides the Viewpoint
Forum for discussion of issues relevant to our domain. Among
others, appropriate uses are: trip reports of neat places to hike,
individual sale of camping/hiking equipment, trail conditions, looking
for hiking partners, Trail Conference policies, environmental concerns
(trail or land preservation related).
