Hare Resources
Here are some useful resources for laying trail.
- Purple Lizard Maps - Probably the best maps around for trails in Rothrock, Bear Meadows, Greenwood Furnace, Shingletown, Coopers Gap, etc.
- Latitude/Longitude Locator - Starting trail in the middle of nowhere and need to give people GPS coordinates to find you?
- Latitude/Longitude Locator with Elevation data - Cycling site but valuable for us too
- Kraut's map of Scotia (pdf) circa 2005 - Best map of Scotia we have but could probably use an update.
- OpenStreetMap - Wiki style mapping site where users can upload GPS tracks and tag them to build out trail maps.
