NCTA Public Trail Data

For the last few days, I've been working on organizing and re-formating the NCTA Public Data.  I'm stripping out the points of interest and keeping the parking, camping and water data.  I don't exactly have a plan for this project.  And this project consists of projects within it.  What I'm really after is:

- NCTA's camping data

- Merged chapter tracks proofread and edited

- Expanded camping/ lodging data out to 3 - 4 miles from trail.

- Determine if state and local reservations have dispersed camping?

- Mile markers in 6 of 8 states by chapters, partners, affiliates and at-large areas.

- government and park reservation map overlays

- apply National Forest Service polygons

- Mock hike written simulation, both westbound and eastbound

Goal: predict true thru hiker's arrivals on Whipple and Road Fork Sections - Buckeye/ North Country Trail so that Adventurer's Project and the chapter that may result from it
