    As you may have noticed, we’ve been busy with site enhancements. The home page reflects many of the changes. We are also working on the image display issue that you see when multiple images are uploaded together. We are trying to get them to display horizontally. I’ll let you know when we get it worked out.

    A few dead tree pics to test some image functionality.

  • Had a great 5 mile hike at Hanging Rock State Park yesterday, the weather was perfect, leaves are beginning to change, wildlife was active, and the waterfalls were above normal water flow thanks to some recent gully-washing storms. Early Fall is one of my favorite times to hike in NC!!

      Nice pix, Chris!

      I love being able to get in behind that one waterfall and take pictures through it.

        Thanks Tom! It was nice to see these falls with some decent water flowing from them.

      That looks like an amazing hike. Strange to see water. We’re short on that out here.

    We’ve made a change on the Activity Stream to show status updates by default rather than all activity.

    • Tom Mangan

      wow, I mentally wished this upgrade into being! (’nother way of saying I was thinking the same thing but let somebody else suggest it).

    • Tim Miner

      It’s been on the list for a long time because I hate ALL ACTIVITY. (Another way of saying that your power appears to have no limits!)

    At your request, we’ve added social sharing buttons to both the directory and feed pages as well as the individual posts. In the screen cap you can see the sharing buttons on the left side of the screen. These buttons will share the page you are currently on. The Share button under each post expands when you click it to reveal the platforms…[Read more]

      Very cool what plugin is that or is it custom?

      The floater on the left is the Slick Social Share plugin and the one in line with each post is the BuddyPress Share It plugin.

    Hi Folks

    Just saying hello to all members of this great looking site. I have just had a quick word with Tom to see if trail information outside of the USA was welcome as I am based in Scotland and I was not sure if it was just a USA focused site. But he has said go for it and bring some more Europe based walkers along to join ( there are millions…[Read more]

        Hi Tim

        Thanks for the welcome. Most will be from Scotland, Morocco and Spain so not that exotic I am afraid. Just posted a short one on Mongolia over on the groups though in the long distance multi-day section

    This is a cool idea by new member Sonja — she has a chart comparing the mileage of a bunch of her blogging pals.

    • peter syme

      Nice idea . I have just finished a 1000 mile trek and was so inspired I am going to do several more on foot, bike, ski and by paddle. Obviously these will only appeal to a very small number of people to take part in but I do think Sonja’s approach could have lots of appeal to a wider group

    My Life Outdoors’ – Day Two at Glacier National Park: “I’m lying down, face up, on the rocky shore of a remote alpine lake. Nearby I hear the sound of water falling 1,500 feet into the cold, turquoise, lake . For now the sun is warm, the breeze is welcome, and I believe I have found heaven on earth. ”

  • Will take a look around this site later tonight, but so far am very impressed :-D

    Finally! It appears that the image issue has been resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience folks, but you can now upload a new avatar for your profile or your group.

    Big changes! We’ve moved the community to a subdomain on Trail Sherpa (connect.trailsherpa.com) to solve a few nagging issues. We’ve also added the ability to embed videos and photos from your favorite sites. Just drop the link in your update and it will embed automatically when you post it. It doesn’t work for all sites but it does include…[Read more]
