Consider also the scene at https://orthos.dhses.ny.gov/?Extent=-8263474.452075749,5187562.211271851,-8262985.673109871,5187771.815935289&Layers=2017_cache,2016_cache,2015_cache,2014_cache,2013_cache The most obvious man-made objects in that clearing are a cabin (home to the fire warden back when the place was staffed - it was decommissioned in the 1970s), a lookout tower, a picnic table, an outhouse, and, to the northeast, a mounting platform. People with mobility impairments who are at least able to stand and pivot can use the platform to mount a horse from a wheelchair (which can then be loaded aboard a pack animal). This is part of a state program for wilderness access for persons with disabilities. I haven't tried to map the platforms. It's been a few years since I was up to the summit of Hunter Mountain. The tower has terrific views, but the trails tend to be crowded (well, by the standards of trails in a wilderness area :)) in fair weather. These must be some species of the genus that we're discussing. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
