Congratulations jburd! Your can-do attitude in overcoming your recent handicap should be an inspiration to any one with a love for the pines. Scott

I didn't know they moved from 73. Thanks for the info.

I'll trade you your backpack for some IPA.

It is painfully obvious that you two are not to be left without adult supervision. Next time I shall have to extend my chaperoning until you two are safely picked up by your parents. :)

Steve, You might have been able to handle this area. The total hike was only 2.5 miles +/- and most of it was on the level road bed. Water crossings were small and few and required only knee boots. You stepped in and stepped out. If you want to give it a try, let me know and I could meet...

Today I was fortunate enough to be able to retrace some of the recent steps of Ben, our website host, with him and a few other members of the site in the awesome Mordecai Swamp. It was a beautiful day to be in the big woods and I learned quite a bit about an area that I have overlooked for...

I am amazed at the accuracy of the Garmin 60CSX handheld. On this particular project I tested it by letting it "burn" a position for 10 minutes on two of our traverse points. The points were about 400' apart. I turned on the WAAS and placed the unit on top of the points. I marked each point...

The GPS Babel site has a ton of interchangeable formats between Magellan, Garmin Raymarine and just about anyone else's map software. It does not however have the normal drawing file extensions.

We are using the evil Civil 3D however that was not the issue. I do not use cad atall but our draftsman don't seem to like Civil 3D. I know you can flip dwg and dxf . My issue was converting Garmin's .gdb to dxf in Mapsource. Now I have to figure out why it worked today as opposed to...

Eureka II. Just for the hell of it, I tried the "save as" option again in Garmin after I got done doing the above task and selected the dxf file type in the drop down box. For some reason, it worked this time (opertator error the first time I am sure) and I was able to open the track in...

Eureka!! I saved the track in Mapsource as a .gpx I then opened USA Photomaps and imported gpx track files. In the gps toolbar in USA I displayed the track on the map. I then saved it as a screen jpeg. The jpeg image is workable with Autocad according to my draftsman and it is brought in as...

I will try dumping it to USA. I will ask this morning about the Excel possibility.

Guy, Boyd or others may be able to help me with this I hope. I have a track stored in my Garmin 60CSX that I need to plot in AutoCAD for a project in work. The track displays in Garmin's Mapsource and I have an option to "save as" a .gdb (Garmin's file type?) or .dxf file type. dxf is...

Great to see you posting there again young fellow!! Bill, there is a lively exchange going on right now in the Recreation forum about off roading in the pines. Perhaps you can enlighten some of the people with your tales of tooling through the pines on Harleys, Triumphs and BSA's back in the...

It was a beautiful day on planet earth yesterday and we got to see a lot of things that few people ever get to see from a perspective that few will ever have. Here is Paul next to a potential record sassafras. I found that I will have to buy the NJ Big Tree list from NJDEP to check to see...

Wouldn't be the first time.

Will there be beer? :)

I am a surveyor and I found out last year that that Camden County's road retutn books are now at the NJ State Archives. I needed them for a project in work. I have used them in the past when they were at the Camden County Register of deeds. Jerseyman clued me in to their relocation. Really...

It's amazing how well they can swim with the skinny legs and narrow hooves. I have seen them swim many times. I used to think they had to be pushed to do it but I have seen them cross streams for the same reasons chickens cross the road. I hunt an area where they would cross a wide stream...

Beautiful trip Gabe. You picked a great weekend for it. I really like that Locks Bridge area. I used to fish the area from land quite a bit.
