Kayking down the St Croix

Last weekend, a bunch of us went kayaking down the St Croix river. It was a beautiful ride down with lots of wildlife to see along the way.

I didn't collect any GPS data on this trip, but used Google My Maps to mark out the route. The embedded version shown below was created using My Maps Plus.





As always, there are plenty of pictures on my smugmug page.

Biking to Lake Elmo

I have been meaning to post this for a while. On our bike ride to Lake Elmo, I collected some GPS data intending to plot them on Google maps.

I looked at a few existing solutions for this and tried using www.mtbguru.com. The interface on this website was quite painful and I finally settled on using www.everytrail.com. This site is a little better, but is still a little buggy.

An embedded version of the resulting page is posted below. If you do click the link and go over to the everytrail site, I would suggest using the full-screen view. The GPS data gets skewed in the non-full-screen view (one of the few bugs).
