I need a list of all hiking clubs in the United States.  For each club
I need their mailing address, website address (URL) and phone number. 
I need the data put on an Excel spreadsheet.

Researcherrs tend to avoid questions that request ALL of any subject
because there's simply no way to know for certain if the list is
complete. Please consider how can you modify your request so that we
can reasonably fulfill it.

Hi!

In lieu of the clarification made by me fellow researcher,
tutuztad-ga, how many hiking clubs would be acceptable as an answer?

Thanks!

Clarification of Question by harris9813-ga on 09 Dec 2005 14:09 PST
I am looking for as many hiking clubs as you can reasonably find.  I
realize that there are many small hiking clubs with about 10 members
that meet for hikes.  What I need are the larger hiking clubs that
someone new to the state could contact easily.  As to the number of
clubs per state that would depend on the state: Colorada might have
many more than Idaho.  I think it would be possible to get two or
three from states like Iowa and 7 or 8 from states like Georgia and
Michigan.  Thanks.

harris9813-ga,

I have a list of about 100 organizations with words like "hiking" or
"hikers" in their name.  The list includes organization name, address,
and telephone number.  However, it does not include website addresses.

Most of the groups listed are probably what you are looking for,
though a few may well be off target.  Here's an example of the first
25 or so listings:

Unfortunately this is not what I need.  The order of importance for
the data collected on hiking clubs is (Web addresss, street address,
phone number.)  I could actualy get by with only the webadress if that
means I can get more clubs on the list.  The names on your list for
the most part are businesses.  To help clarify I am looking for are
hiking clubs.  A hiking club being a group that gathers on a regular
basis to hike together.  They will have organization and structure
with a president, past president chair persons for activities e.g.
maintains trails, new members etc....  Groups will range in size with
the largest being groups like AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) which
has subchapters all up the east coast.  When compiling a list I will
accept subchapters as a hiking club.  Thanks.

Hi harris9813,

How would this be (sampling only):

Regards,
hummer

Clarification of Question by harris9813-ga on 12 Dec 2005 11:02 PST
Yes.  This is the format I am looking for. Would it be possible to
make a third column for the state where the club is located.  If so I
will not need a full address and or phone number- just club name, URL
and State.  Thanks.

Harris9813, please have another look and confirm that this is
suitable.  Thanks, hummer

To Hummer-ga, yes that is exactly what I am looking for. Do you know
how many hiking clubs you will be able to find (approximately.)  If it
cost more for a few more clubs- I will gladly raise the price from
$150 to $200.

Request for Question Clarification by hummer-ga on 12 Dec 2005 14:28 PST
Well, let's not get our hopes up yet, just leave the price as is for
now (it's always possible to tip after the answer has been posted). I
don't know how many clubs you were hoping for, but I can say that the
list will exceed 200 for sure (that's where I am now). I probably
won't have it completed until tomorrow, I hope you aren't in a rush. 
Regards, hummer

Clarification of Question by harris9813-ga on 12 Dec 2005 15:51 PST
To Hummer-ga, Thanks.  Looking forward to seeing how many your were
able to get.  Thanks.

Good morning! I'm still working and hope to finish today. For some fine-tuning...

1. The clubs without website URLs: do not include them?
2. The URLs: include "http://"?
3. Sort the list by state?

Regards, hummer

Clarification of Question by harris9813-ga on 13 Dec 2005 07:03 PST
To hummer-ga.  Just list clubs with websites.  If the URL has
"http://" leave it and if doesn't that is OK also.  Yes please
orgainze by state.
Thanks.

Here you go, harris9813 - a list of 343 -  I hope it meets expectations. 

"The file will be available for 7 days or a limited number of downloads."

As far as I know, there are no duplicate URLs.

I must go and thaw out my right hand now!
