[Talk-ca] Recover deleted trails

[Andy Townsend]

Aha!  An overpass query that searches that area for ways at a time in 
the past is:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/27hy

which finds

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/213543462/history

which was added (by you I guess) in 2013 and deleted by 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Megaminx12 in 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/104477844 in May 2021. Maybe 
they surveyed it then and couldn't see anything on the ground?

I'd suggest adding a comment in the box at 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/104477844 and asking them about 
it.  They're still mapping, so there's a chance they'll see the message 
and reply to it.

Best Regards,

Andy
