I am now able to load GPS tracks to the Pindropr site. I am pretty excited about this. Using my AMOD data logger + point and shoot camera + mountain bike (or hiking) I can create some pretty cool visuals of the trails. This will also be great for CO backpacking in the summer. Here is a screen shot of the current trails I have logged and a few photos on them. If you want to give this a try on the Pindropr website try this pindrop to get...

I guess there is only one way to find out. Related Posts:Chasm Lake...

I guess that is one good thing about driving. No worries about canceling your transportation. With my leg hurt I have been thinking about what we could hike. On my first CO solo trip I went by Estes Cone but did not make it up to the top. It is pretty flat from Long’s...
