Bay City, Michigan public-project profile for Chris Izworski: practical web tools, Great Lakes data projects, Michigan outdoor reports, gardening writing, and verified identity/source links.
Michigan Outdoors Now is the current flagship outdoor-planning build: a Michigan day-trip planner that combines drive time, weather, official trail/access evidence, and route-specific Trail Truth.
The Trail Truth catalog currently contains 127 verified route profiles, 52 named trailheads, 23 official entry points, and 23 multi-route destinations. The live planner keeps official land-manager mileage separate from current weather, access changes, mapped geometry, and uncertainty rather than blending them into a black-box score.
