Mapping the Sheltowee

I'm not sure if this has been done before and if not why someone hasn't thought of it but I searched and tried to find the trace on backpacker.com to see what was said and I didn't find many results. So I started a page for it.

Perhaps if we can get some hits and ratings on it we may see some more traffic. Also I, for whatever reason, don't have too many pics to upload so perhaps there is a way for other users to upload their pics and tag on the trail.

Let me know what you think. I'm open to suggestions.

I work at Backpacker and am currently looking for usable photos of a cetrain section of the Sheltowee Trace, between the Corner Ridge parking lot to the Natural Bridge parking lot, including a couple side trips from the trail.

I think the best options might be photos of Indian Arch or Indian Staircase. I've tried contacting Boyd and MarkAErnst about some of their photos on this site that would work. Can someone help me get in touch with them, since they haven't yet replied?

Also, please feel free to send me your own photos to consider gfullerton@backpacker.com or call me at 303-625-1613

Thanks!

Hi Genny,

I emailed you a few sets of photos for the stretch of trail of you're covering. If you want higher resolution, just send me the file name and I'll get you a print version.

Thanks for your attention and work!

Let us know if you ever need anything else about Kentucy Genny. I'm always sad when I can't find a Kentucky mention in Backpacker (I'm a subscriber!). Of course I am biased, but I feel like we have a lot to offer.

Currently I'm a professional Girl Scout but I majored in journalism/have a ton of pictures because my camera is attached to me. Always willing to help.

Its normally based on the circumstances, if we do not know about the things we can get to have a way out which is there for many reasons.
So yeah sticking to all the needs and discussing the experiences is always a help.
