Hi, and thanks for your contributions here and throughout Utah! One suggestion/request I have for you is that camp pitch numbers (and most numbered things) should be ref= instead of osm.wiki/Tag:name=. More info: tourism=camp_pitch

Just to be clear, I don't think features should be blindly added, either - whether that's by copying USGS topo map or strava or whatever. I get the sense that some of these were added like that. However, in my opinion, if there's a visible trail that can be walked, it does indeed belong in OSM.

Hi, and thanks for your contributions! In this case, were you able to verify that the trails you deleted really don't exist? What's your source for the deletions? Just because something isn't maintained or sanctioned doesn't mean it is non-existent. By leaving real features in OSM and tagging them appropriately (such as informal=yes or access=no) we can also prevent later unaware contributors from re-adding them anew (often with just highway=path...)

Hi, thanks for your contributions! Is Guinavah-Malibu campground re-opened?

158257887

Oh, I see. Thanks for your response! I'm really glad to hear that you're using multiple sources and not blindly going off land ownership boundaries. (IMO using just the boundaries is OK as long as we're certain they correlate 1:1 with access in a given area.) Thanks for your contributions!! Like I said, I think access data is extremely valuable for a lot of different applications!

158257887

Perhaps I've asked this before, so I apologize if that's the case.
Is your source for these access restrictions inference based on land ownership boundaries? I appreciate you working on this since I think road access data is really valuable for routing and the road network, arguably OSM's core feature. This is a double-edged sword, too, since incorrectly tagged access can have a huge negative effect on routing usefulness. This is something that has impacted me directly as a data consumer in the past.
Anyway, I just want to be sure we aren't incorrectly assuming access. Let me know what you think. And thanks for your contributions!!! :)

We'd better hope the river never forks a third time or we'll have "South Divide North Branch South Fork Ogden River"!

157875255

Thanks for catching that!

In this case, could a member of the public park at the Quick Quack lot for a fee? Otherwise I wonder if perhaps access=customers might be more appropriate.

157562630

Howdy! A couple suggestions:
- For an orchard such as the one by Larsen Street, it doesn't make sense to add individual trees. For larger areas of tree cover, you should use an area enclosing the group such as orchard or natural=wood.
- For a row of trees, you can use natural=tree_row.

Gotcha, thanks!

Gotcha, thanks for investigating! Funny we're talking about this because over on the forum there is a fiery debate and reconciliation regarding what it means to be a path, what counts as a path, and all manner of related topics. Perhaps you were aware already.
Anyway, in this case specifically (and in general) I'm open to tagging methods other than my preferred method. My vote for this segment is what I mentioned earlier: highway=path, informal=yes, visibility=poor or no. Let me know what you think, and thanks for your contributions!

157018446

Oh, gotcha. Thanks! I didn't know they had separated out the turning lanes eg way/1317734951 .

Howdy. Looks like user Oregonian3 removed many of these track roads in their recent changeset/156871244. I commented there too to notify them. Perhaps one of you is using newer imagery than the other? Let's see if we can find out what the problem is. Here's a website that allows us to see a little more detail in the history of one of those ways: https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/1308933907

156871244

Looks like user Ezra Jenks just added some of those track roads in changeset/155487489. I'll comment there too to let them know. Perhaps one of you is using newer imagery than the other? Best to discuss, I think.

157017833

I see that you added layer=-1 to this school building, meaning that it's underground. Was that intentional?

157018446

Did they add physical barriers to these intersections recently?

157094881

What is DERR?

156825209

I was able to hike out to Bob Stewart Peak last summer via the trail (apparently) named Brushy Springs Trail. Were you able to verify it isn't accessible anymore? If not, I'd say an informal path with poor visibility is still appropriate based on my memory of that area.

156772516

Hi, can you give some more info about the reasoning and/or methodology of what you're doing here?
