area topo map

in relation, somewhat, to the previously posted photos, here is a crude topo map of the area with a
few trails drawn in and labeled. http://www.megalink.net/~farmers/mtb/topo.jpg If only the contour
lines were as accurate as 1 foot, it may show the terrain a little better.

What i need is a GPS with mapping abilities and some compatible topo software so i can ride the
trails and map them out better. but, hand drawn maps will have to suffice, considering the map scale
is fairly small anyway.

Hey, something's wrong with that map; the largest elevation numbers are only three digits!

Hence why all the labeled "peaks" have that little 4 letter suffix to their name.

The only terrain i have ridden that has a "Mount" prefix is about 20 - 30 miles away. Mount Apatite
in Auburn, ME. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=44.09139&lon=-70.29611 Not very high, but last i
can remember of it (rode back in my college days), it was a damn fine ride, short but well worth it.
i have some plans to pay a visit again (perhaps after the "new" ride is purchased, shipped, and
built up). If i am reading this map, and comparing it to a 1 or 2 year old memory correctly, the
trailhead is that white patch about 1" down from the mark, and 1" to the right. it is within 50
yards of a National Guard base so i remember seeing them out hiking once in a while, though they
stick to the walking trails (wimps).

It may be sooner than you think..... I've made GREAT strides as getting it "ready"

What size was the new Thomson you just bought?

28.6 X 410 with 3" cut off to fit the goose. Was a SP-E124.

I have a friend who does that for a living. Cool job. He's got a plotter that fills half a room that
will print giant maps, photos, or whatever. It's cool hardware (I set it up for him).

I went and had a look for one of my favorite rides on that topo site and it almost looks like the
actual trail is even on there, but I think that's really a couple of creeks. It's the blue line that
appears to cross the peak of Central Mountain. Fun stuff.
