GPX or KMZ?

Would you prefer a .kmz file or a .gpx file? Up to this point, I have used the KML/KMZ file formats almost exclusively. The Keyhole Markup Language format works well when viewing the roads and features in Google Earth or Google Maps. However, I know that many of you may find it handy to have a .gpx file available. Here's your chance...let me know what you need. Should I offer a gpx file along with my usual kml/kmz? Do you prefer to handle the .gpx file conversion yourself?

Coming Soon: Swallow Creek WMA

I finished up a few areas north of Unicoi State Park, near Helen. I should have it up and ready for folks to take a look in another week or two. I did drive a section of Tray Mountain Road that appears to be rarely traveled. It was not particularly difficult, just exceptionally rocky and slow-going and definitely not for the low(er) clearance AWD rigs unless you are exceedingly patient and careful. The roads covered on this trip were: Tray Mountain Rd, Indian Grave Gap Road, Corbin Creek Road and Mill Creek Road.

ATL to the Arctic 2011 back in Canada!

Yep, you have to follow along on the official site for this, otherwise you may miss all the good times had by Curt and Paul. They made it to Fairbanks, Alaska. Curt continued on north to the Dalton Highway, crossing the Arctic Circle, and riding on to Coldfoot. After Curt returned to Fairbanks, the 2011 ATL to the Arctic Team began the long ride south.

As of 7 hours ago, SPOT is showing them near Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. If all goes to plan, they should be heading to Seattle and then home.

Keep an eye on them and send them your love...and Susan G. Komen your money!
