One of the most satisfying aspects of contributing to OpenStreetMap for me is walking a previously unmapped hiking trail, adding it to OSM, and seeing it appear on waymarkedtrails.org (and later in various hiking-oriented Android apps).

Recently I had the chance to survey a short waymarked trail that was completely unmapped (both the physical path and the waymarking). Here are the "before and after" screenshots from hiking.waymarkedtrails.org.

@alan Yeah, and there are always things to contribute in the commons (trail signs, plants, walking photo imagery, etc).

@kapis Yes I keep my photos of that kind of thing in the hope that one day I will somehow have enough time to upload them to commons. May need to wait until I retire though!
