Hi, this is for Ray, the webmaster. Can you add a forum to the Paul Bunyan Trail and NETT websites? I have researched both trails and found a few current but mainly older reviews. It would be great to be able to get up-to-date feedback on the conditions of the trails.

Thank you for the suggestion Cindy. The reason that the NETT and Paul Bunyan sites do not have a forum, all comes down to the amount of visitors on those websites.
The NETT website only gets about 10% the number of visitors that the Katy Trail site gets. Unfortunately in situations like that, a forum would probably end up with just a handful of questions and few or no answers. It's depressing to go to a forum and see that the last post is several months old.
Similar situation with the Paul Bunyan site. It's a popular trail, but that website has not been on the web for very long, and it takes years for search engines to start directing serious amounts of traffic.
Having said all that, I'll try to get a forum added to the NETT site before the next season starts. A Paul Bunyan Forum is further in the future, but it will eventually have enough visitors to justify a forum.
Thanks and happy trails!

Thank you for explaining why there isn't a forum for the other websites. I saw firsthand about a few questions asked with little or n response. I saw it on the Mickelson site when I was planning that ride. Thank you, too, for the work you put into maintaining the websites and answering questions.
