We have heard on several occasions the Forest Service is more interested in such things as timber sales and endangered species. Recreation is in the low end of priorities. What do you think?

We are missing many events within the national forests (NF) and grasslands (NG), i.e., fishing derby's, star gazing, guided motor tours and hikes, interpretive programs, etc. This forum is provided for all of us to share by announcing events we learn about in our trip planning research, event experiences on our trips and other sources.

The use of GPS Coordinates is growing not only for navigating from point A to B but also finding “treasure” and points of interest (POI) or Virtual Geocaching. For now, this forum is established for Virtual Geocaching.

We (the authors - Fred and Suzi Dow) depart on our annual NF CG research adventures in our RV on July 5, 2010 and will return home around Thanksgiving. As a topic, we will periodically post the GPS Coordinates of our current location along with the state and arrival/departure dates. If you're in the area, see if you can find us and visit. Those who succeed will receive a free regional E-book CD of their choice.

Armed with your GPS device, create a topic giving the coordinates of a great view, a special dispersed camping site, a fishing or swimming hole that beats all, a wonderful interpretive trail, an ice cream parlor to die for, etc., etc. Share with members and visitors your memorable sights and locations BUT make finding them a bit of a challenge.

We've been asked by the Forest Service to prepare a presentation on our campground research - observations, recommendations, things like that. So, toward that end, tell me what you want in a national forest campground - rustic feel, RV hookups, hot showers, trails, swimming, host, dedicated tent sites, security, etc., etc.

Discuss trips to national forests you are planning on taking. Get help from those who have been there. Unless already established, send an email to the forum moderator and request a forum be established for the trip you are planning. For example, Bisbee, AZ to Chugach/Tongass NFs - Alaska. Or just Tongass NF - Alaska.

Suzi and I (Fred), authors of the U.S. National Forest Campground Guides), are planning on researching the Chugach and Tongass NFs in 2008. We will be traveling w/2 pets in our 31 ft. Class C motorhome with dingy. Advice/guidance will be greatly appreciated. Besides our usual campground surveys, what other information would you like us to cover for publication?

Now that we have been to all the national forests and grasslands and personally researched over 2,400 developed campgrounds, the challenge is keeping the data current. We are asking for your help to make that happen.

Suggestions for revising ForestCamping.com are always appreciated. Since we are a "Mom and Pop" operation, resources will be a major factor in our decision process.
