That's been a big idea of mine for over a decade. If you really want to work on it, I'm betting this would interest Bud too. I've worked out alot of do's and dont's...and mentally looked at what works and don't work on other sites that tried and failed.

My favorite infomation/database/user-community type site is still www.surfline.com -- mostly because they tapped the webcam idea long before broadband made it usable...because they could see the potential and they knew the public would catch up. A combo of Trailsource and Surfline - along with the kind of data Scott has gathered on www.txtracks.com would be the perfect site...and traffic would go through the roof.

As a commercial printer and a web developer, I can see income from both web and print for stuff like this - if not personal income, then as a community income resource, but probably both, so this work is not all volunteer, but actually pays the thousands of hours it takes.

But I already knew you had the bug...that's why you are "the chosen one"...minus the assassination or crucifixion, of course. And who knows...maybe someday at a MX track or ORV Park they'll name a privy after you!
