Comment from glebius
Hi!
Just saw your old comment: "Glebius, why on earth you saw the need to add motorcar=no to a highway=path is totally beyond me. How superfluous! I have actually hiked this treacherous path, and added sac_scale=demanding_mountain_hiking, a much more appropriate and helpful tag."
Back when I marked it this way, I approached the trail on a bicycle from the south. I turned back at a point where I could no longer ride. At that point that was a good track, driveable by a 4x4 car. However, since track belongs to Demo Forest, I've put motorcar=no. Today I have hiked it from north, connecting the point where you gave up hiking and put "fixme" and point where I gave up on riding. Ha-ha, now I understand your comment! On my way back I have lost the trail. :) Now, that I have clearly marked the point where it stops to be a highway=track, I will split it into two parts: track and path with sac_scale. The path has ribbon marks saying it is "skid trail", and some sections of the path are clearly excavated in the slope, so looks like many years ago it was driveable by forestry equipment?

Comment from stevea
Some very nice people live there, they opened up their land to me and whispered about paths into Demo. What I literally stumbled across, I documented. What you found you documented!
I think it's cool we do this mapping. We do this on public land, a public forest, actually, which is a sort of agricultural industrial zone, often changing, a bit treacherous in places and I think we both agree, difficult to tag accurately!
We both do a good job as we tag here, especially after reading your comments. However, we likely want a "more gentle" sac_scale rating here, shall we leave off "demanding?"
I don't know if you know that "skid trails" are used in production forests like this with that nomenclature meaning a particular sort of rough right-of-way/trail. Yes, it is 100% construction zone in the Demonstration Forest: rough and changeable everywhere!
Happy mapping,
Steve
