Not much new today …. Picked Vangie up at the Air Port Last night. She had been in Las Vegas for a week with her high school girl friends.

Spent most of today playing with the Barnwell Maps on OpenStreetmap When I went to save / upload, I had been logged out and lost every thing. I can remember most of it. So it won’t be hard to redo. I had added all the camp grounds, fixed Greenlane and added some that I had missed .Oh well!

My other mission this week is get the state inspection done on both Land Rovers. ….

I did make it out , between rain storms. Drove down to Long John Silvers for Fish & More. On the way back I saw a pick up truck with the following bumper sticker ” We no more own the earth, than the fleas own the dog they are on” This got me thinking about the movie ” Crocodile Dundee ” I need to watch this classic again. It also got me thinking about the truth in it . We don’t own any thing. We are just the stewards of the earth. But, some times I think we are a virus to the universe. When we destroy this little round ball we will just move on to another.

This week end was Arizona Land Rover Owners (AZLRO) get to gether in Tucson Arizona. I am still thinking I would have liked to gone to Arizona. Would have been a nice adventure.

Saturday, March 13, is the Spring 2010 Bluff City Land Rover Off Road Event at the Superlift ORV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We went to the last one. Bluff City puts on a great event. Don’t think I will be up to speed…… SCARR is coming and I do want to make it. Even if it is Just a camping trip with the Casita. I am sure I can find some one to help me unhook / hook up down there…………

Today is the day I am going to start editing and building the Hidden Falls files. I did some test of adding the trail names to waypoints. early this morning. I Tested them with motionX one the Iphone. Test went well, So ….. time to start for real. One help would be, name the waypoints…..some thing other than way point 01,02…. names help a lot. I have 18 way points with names now on my phone. should have the new package up this week for those heading to SCARR that would like to down load tracks and way points.

The GPS page is now working. This is a location where , the next time any one needs, they can down load gpx files for their gps. I am still gathering gpx files for Hidden Falls, and started a file for Bridgeport Texas if any one has them.e-mail me. I now have the way points for the trail heads and campgrounds at Barnwell. They will be in the next package.

As I said ealier this week, It is too quite here, by my self. For back ground noise instead of tv I have been listening to books on CD. So far I have gone through Dan Brown……. The Da Vinci Code, Angels&Demons, Digital Fortress, and the Lost Symbol. That is four books in a week, I did watch one move… Two Mules for Sister Sarah ……… last night.

Man it was a nice day. Must have been seventy. I was just looking at the trees, they are budding out. I think spring has sprung.

Did get some way points for Hidden Falls XLS files to work on, This will keep me occupied for a while . I will compare and start consolidating them.

Here is a good link if any one needs to convert gps files GPS Visualizer

another one is gpsbabel

Cabin feavor must be getting me now that I am coming off all the back medications … This morning just before sunrise you would of thought I was living in an avery ! Birds chirping and cooing every where ! Too dark yet to see any thing so I sat in the library reading an old OVERLAND JOURNAL . I love the photography in it, great pictures, and stories.

This and the birds got me wanting to go walk about ………… I did find a short article about Overland Routes . A nice site with trails , tracks , and information on the routes.

How big or small is our world? Adventure is where we find it I guess! I wandered over to The Royal Geographical Society web site , just looking around. Just got me thinking about Land Rovers and adventure …..

The sun came up and there must have been a dozen Blue Jays in the oak tree behind our house. Never have seen this many in one place, in a long time. The back fence was lined up with Doves ……. and my front yard was covered with pigeons. An after thought was …. Afred Hitchcock’s “the BIRDS”.
