I recognize that spot, it is on my tracks.........



On the topic of tracks, I am working up some now. Not sure how I will share them or get them out. I do have a dropbox acct, dont use Google share since we have Huddle at work. MIght ask 'ol Uncle Bob (you need a new airplane) to start a Track thread, or we can keep it here.


Any suggestions on how to get them out? I dont post them openly, yea. I guess you can call me that name, but if you are going you will get them. If not, you can hear about them after we ride them.

Steve, post or email me your tracks. Some of your posts look familiar but I'd like to make sure we get the riders on those photo spots. They are that good.
Why is it you don't want to add the gpx tracks to a post on here?

They aren't exactly state secrets?

Can we post the tracks in the navigation section of ADVRider?
https://advrider.com/f/forums/gps-tracks-central-texas-gulf-states.39/
There are at least 4 or 5 sets of Arkansas tracks on the first 2 pages
I don't have a problem if individuals want to do that.

But we organized the Romney Camp-N-Ride enough times to learn that two things will happen in sharing tracks and routes. First, not everybody wants to post their favorites. Second, we had shops and another event want use our routes and claim them for their own which was absolute bullshit.

Thanks for posting this.
I have a Delorme Arkansas Topo Atlas and it just didn't match up to your description at all, so I Google earthed it and could follow your instructions and trace the roads the way you said.
Not sure I could have found it just using the Atlas.

Steve,

Go to Google Maps and search for Car Wash Falls, AR and it will come up Car Wash Falls, County Road 5881, Hagarville, AR.

I tried to post a gpx file. It does not let you. So I snapped pics from my Arkansas Route Guide book, so anyone could make the route. Does a better job of selling it but they have to route it. Or get the gpx emailed or downloaded from my laptop at the rally. The 595 has the ability to share routes via Bluetooth. Have not tried that yet.
Interesting that this forum does not allow attaching of .GPX files like advrider.com does.
I could change the file extension from .gpx to .txt and attach the file then when I look at the post I could right click on the attachment name and do a "save link as" and change the extension back to .gpx and it appears to work ok.

Just tried it and it worked. To get files to Patrick, add a .txt after the .gpx and then click on Attach Files.
To unpack after downloading, simply delete the .txt
An example using a Romney GPX is below.

You're out of date on this one. Now we run from pot fields and meth labs which are easy to spot. Those have a really run down old farm with some 55 gallon drums, expensive brand new pickups, and Teslas. And people with black military-looking weapons.

Our group has only ran into a big “country guy” with a shot gun once. (Im sounding extra dorky and sarcastic)
He didn’t point the gun at us till the end. Lol

True story.
