I'm delighted to announce that our own intrepid super-backpacker and the personification?of this forum, John Ladd, has a San Francisco Chronicle article highlighting him!? It will be appearing in either the Sunday March 27 or Monday March 28 editions.? I've copied the link to the electronic version?of the article below.? ?
?
The San Francisco Chronicle captures how today's hiking culture intersects with community-based data collection, useful both to the hiking community and to professional researchers of all things hiking-related.?
As the article recognizes, it would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and patience of more than 8,000 eager JMT hikers, or without the efforts of 20+ volunteers with data presentation and analysis skills, with John Ladd spearheading the efforts.
