Lessons Learned

The Arizona Trailblazers Hiking Club tries to maintain these
links as accurately as possible and to verify
that they are appropriate to our club and to the viewer.
However, problems can occur because of the sheer volume
of information provided, the fact that phone numbers do change,
websites become obsolete, or some websites may provide
links to other sites that we don't approve of, but may
not be aware of. Please inform us of any inaccuracies or problems
that you encounter while checking out this page.
If you find a problem, please tell me:
| 1. |
What specific information needs to be changed; e.g., if it is
a phone number, give me the old (incorrect) phone number as well as
the new (correct) one. |
| 2. |
Where the incorrect information is located, i.e., the URL of the
page where you found it. |
| 3. |
What the change should be.
|
If you find any links that should be added to this page, send me an
email.
Thank you for your help, and please enjoy our website! |
