Forest Maps

Due to my activities on a couple of RV Forums I was getting a lot of queries about Forest Service, BLM etc campgrounds.  I started surfing the various government web sites and found some very good ones, and some very bad ones.  I started writing the various Webmaster with suggestions on improving their web sites to make them "RV Friendly" and have gotten some very good responses from several of them.  It would appear that most Webmaster are very interested in feedback from the "Customer"  and are interested in improving their sites.  Many of them expressed problems with personnel and budget cutbacks and lack of priorities.  The bottom line is several of them have asked me if I would be interested in doing some volunteer work for them.

At the time I could not even spell "web page" so I decided to take some classes at the local community college to learn how to construct a web page.  I am definitely not an expert, but I can do some of the simpler things.  Since my main interest is camping, especially with an RV I have decided to concentrate on the Camping portions of the web sites.  My goal in life at this point is to get every forest web site to have an interactive map showing the campground locations, with links to the campground information tables or pages.

My main reason for taking the Web Page classes was to acquire the skills to do some volunteer work for the Forest Service.  I have experimented with a couple of pages while in class to see what skills I do have and what more I need to learn.

I hope some of the Webmaster will look at what I have done, and if they are interested they can copy the pages I have worked on into their web sites.  I also hope other Webmaster will be interested and give me some work to do for them.

Over the past year or so I have written to many FS & BLM offices.  A summary of the letters I have sent them is at;
General.

Listed below are the links to the maps/pages I have worked on.
