Wow, that new photo is way better. I'm not even _in_ the old one! :) [[User:Swebster|Scott Webster]] 20:00, 8 August 2007 (PDT) | Wow, that new photo is way better. I'm not even _in_ the old one! :) [[User:Swebster|Scott Webster]] 20:00, 8 August 2007 (PDT) | ||

As Scott pointed out the UTM [[Brian Waddington Hut#Waypoints|waypoints]] are suspect. I initially thought maybe the datum was wrong, but I did some conversions and it looks like they're too far out even for that. The lat/lng waypoints seem better (bridge waypoints lie on or at least reasonably close to the creek). The current set of waypoints was [http://www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Brian_Waddington_Hut&diff=9874&oldid=9580 originally added] by Matt Breakey. I plan to record a new set of waypoints for both the road, and the new trail next time I'm up there. (I did record the lower section of the new trail last weekend, but not the upper section since it wasn't fully flagged yet.) For now I'm tempted to wipe the UTM coordinates entirely. --[[User:Matthew|Matthew]] 22:49, 10 August 2007 (PDT) | |||

VOC hut "reservations"
The Template:About huts in general template on this page and all hut pages does basically say that the VOC has "priority." I'm not really sure what this means or if it's really what we want to say. Scott Webster 17:46, 2 January 2007 (MST)
Yeah... It seems to me the VOC is constantly dancing around two major hut issues : fees and reservations. Do we charge a fee or do we accept donations? Let's decide once and for all. If they are donations, then they are by definition not required and things should not be worded to imply that they are. And does a VOC group that has made a "registration" get "reservation" of the hut, while a non-VOC group that makes a "registration" not get "reservation"?!?!
My opinion on the matters is that we should not have a fee and we should not have reservations (VOC groups included). But perhaps we need the exec to formulate an official statement on this so we can disseminate it consistently.
Either way, I found the tone of "Several non-VOC groups showed up without having made reservations during this reserved period." a bit untasteful so I would like to see its removal remain even if the powers that be decide that the VOC did/does have "priority".

New photo
Personally I think this photo of Champagne's is nicer than the current one in the article. Maybe we should use that one instead, or alternatively wait and see if someone has an even nicer one from this weekend? --Matthew 16:59, 8 August 2007 (PDT)
Yeah the photo on the hut page isn't very good. Let's wait for the rest of the photos from the weekend to roll in. Scott Nelson 18:33, 8 August 2007 (PDT)

GPS Waypoints
As Scott pointed out the UTM waypoints are suspect. I initially thought maybe the datum was wrong, but I did some conversions and it looks like they're too far out even for that. The lat/lng waypoints seem better (bridge waypoints lie on or at least reasonably close to the creek). The current set of waypoints was originally added by Matt Breakey. I plan to record a new set of waypoints for both the road, and the new trail next time I'm up there. (I did record the lower section of the new trail last weekend, but not the upper section since it wasn't fully flagged yet.) For now I'm tempted to wipe the UTM coordinates entirely. --Matthew 22:49, 10 August 2007 (PDT)
