Pioneer Day Our second hitch is complete. We are now in the process of readjusting to ‘normal’ life. The 8 days in the field went too quickly. We started with a group of 13 (leave no trace) and ended with 4. After the big wigs and jokers left things improved rapidly. Everyone and their dog …. [Continue reading] 7/14/03 Another morning at the bunkhouse and another ride. We headed to Twin Creek campground and parked admist the remnants of last night’s fire camp (trash, mainly). Out on highway 93 things were chilly, but the morning was fresh and it felt great. As we climbed towards Lost Trail Pass we watched a helicopter make ….

We eventually got on a computer and got TopoFusion working. It was a bit of a trial. The best part of the day was spending over an hour filling out our timecards. It was nothing but hilarious. I was laughing because I came …. [Continue reading] 7/9/03 North Fork, ID We just got off our first ‘hitch’ here in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Our mission was simple: GPS all of the system trails. We started a day late and finished a day early. I hiked (backpack and day-hike) some 75 miles in 5 days. TopoFusion claims 20,000 …. [Continue reading] We’re off to Frank Church for a summer of backpacking and mapping trails for the forest service. We’ll be checking email at least weekly, so our responses won’t be nearly as quick. There are a couple of known issues in the current release of TopoFusion: 1 – There is a major bug in the network …. [Continue reading] |
