    Foggy Morning

    Taken at about 8 AM in the Peaslee WMA, temperature holding steady at the overnight low of 60 degrees (going up to around 80 later today). Back on the paved roads, it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the jackasses who don't think you need to slow down when visibility is less than 100 ft. ;)

    boydsmaps on a phone without cell service

    This was just a quick test, not very impressive, but I have the Kobbe map running completely offline on my Android test phone - no internet connection or cell service needed. I used the Kobbe map for this test because it's the smallest one, but it should work with any map. This is just a simple...

    "The label of 'super' or 'ultra' telephoto is usually afforded to cameras with a focal length over 300mm, drastically magnifying and pulling in distant subjects.

    Introducing the new 3d Terrain Viewer

    The new app is now online. Kind of a difficult birth, there are many complex things happening at the same time in this app that depend on each other.

    Quite a hill

    Not much of a "trip", but this seems like the best place to post it... Driving down Hunters Mill Rd near Halberton recently, I noticed what looked like a sheer "cliff" barely visible through the heavy tree cover on the North side of the road.
