Curious anecdote: some AllTrails user apparently looked up a phone
number for OSM US and called up Maggie. Turns out the complaint was
about a trail that I originally mapped *blush*. In my defense, that was
9 years ago, I haven't been to that part of town much since I moved, and
nobody else updated the trail, which has since disappeared.
Here is the changeset in case you're interested:
