Mainly because Tim has already gone to the trouble of building a social-networking site designed specifically for hikers, backpackers and others who are into human-powered recreation. Other outdoor sites have social functions tacked on; Trail Sherpa has them baked in.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage to a social-centric site is that it becomes a much better place to hang around and gab with people who speak the same language. Pretty much all the hiking blogs have a Facebook page, but the content is just as dispersed there as it is on the overall Web. It&#8217;d sure be nice to have it all in the same place. <\/p>\n<p>Trail Sherpa has a long way to go to make that happen. I&#8217;m writing this mainly to say I believe that it can, and to encourage the rest of you to give it a try. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Tim Miner, the creator of Trail Sherpa, invited me to get in on the action on his site.
