Hello everybody:

I am pleased to announce a newly updated webpage with US Forest Service
publications relating to trails located at
www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/fspubs/index.htm. Some of these
publications were out-of-print, so they are available to the public
again. Some of the publications are only indirectly related to trails,
but you might find them handy. For example, if you are concerned about
invasive weeds along trails, you might want to know about the MTDC
Portable Vehicle Washer.

We expect to add a few more publications to this website in the near
future, such as the newly published "Portable Rock Crusher for Trails"
and "Accessible Handpump for Forest Service Campgrounds".

These publications also will be available on a CD that the USFS will
provide to us for distribution.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to the US Forest Service's Technology and
Development Program. In particular, Brian Vachowski, Program Lead, and
Mary Trankel.

And especially, THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Jonathan LeClere, our onsite
contractor here with FHWA, who has turned our RTP website (and TE
website) into very user friendly and informative resources. Jonathan
spent a lot of time reformatting the publications to meet FHWA's
standards. He enjoyed reading the publications and learning more about
trails, as well.

We also improved links to other publications at
www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/rectrails/publications.htm.

I hope you find these resources useful. They are brought to you by the
Recreational Trails Program administrative funds through a reimbursable
agreement with the US Forest Service Technology and Development Program.
I think this investment will help provide significant cost savings in
building and maintaining America's trails.
