I have a news item that I would like to share with you about a hiker missing in the San Bernadinos. There are also other interesting topics on this message board.

I'll be a regular visitor here from now on as I need all kind of information about hiking.I am hiking for two years now and I enjoy it very much.

Nice blog! I'm an easterner and I've always wanted to go out west to hike. I've hiked all over the southern states out here. Even Mexico but not out west...I need to get out there!

Thanks for reminding me. I have to update the contact address. To join the club, just download the form and send it in, or come on a hike. Someone should have a form. If you start coming on hikes you surely will find someone to go with you.

Hey all! I sent an email a few weeks back to the contact address on your site, but the mailbox was full on your end so it just keeps bouncing :(

I am an avid hiker and geocacher. I moved here in July '06 and spend all my freetime mapping trails and trying to figure out what's what in terms of geography. I have created a Flickr group and encourage you all to join! We share pictures from area hikes and are sure to geotag them ALL:

In particular, I am currently attempting to properly label (on map) the various "Goat Trails" above and south of Palm Springs. Someone was drinking when they named these things :) I have a discussion going here on that topic:

I am also interested in membership and would like more information.

I haven't seen any. The way I have done it is using the National Geographic Topo program. There is a way to make a digital file version.

My partner and I hiked the Indian Canyons last year, and I am just now doing my online photo album. Does anyone know where I can find, online, trail maps for Murray, Andreas and Palm Canyons? I always like to include material other than just pictures.

Thanks!
