We all know the Fattboy had a bit of a problem in the sand on Saturday. That evening he claimed that he was, in fact, NOT stuck. I have video that proves that he wasn't.

And a photo.

I found out from my brother that Google Maps can directly import KML or KMZ files. What this means is we can use Google Earth to create files of our tracks, etc. and overlay it with Google Maps. Although the following link example does not have any cache waypoints, it can contain anything that the KML/KMZ file support. Pretty cool.. check it out. Otay Tracks

 

It is an easy way to post tracks to help others.

Cool! I just noticed that Google Maps added traffic maps too. That should help the FTFers...

Speaking of Google Maps, go to "Get Directions" and type anything involving a trip across the Atlantic, such as New York City to London, and take a peek at the mode of transportation for the 3462 miles across the Atlantic.

When does this swim across the Atlantic event take place? I need to start training. Are there any caches we can grab on the way? Don't you guys think we could do the Pacific first since it is closer to most of us.

Don't know if you've looked at the rest of this trip, but Google Maps has you swim to Le Havre in France and then drive 150miles to Boulogne-sur-Mer and then from there "drive" to Dover. Not mentioned is that if you take directions as given, you'll either drive onto a ferry (if your timing is good) or into the Channel (if your timing is bad.)

 

If it were me, I'd swim to Lands End in Cornwall and drive to London from there (saving myself about 250 miles of swimming -- not to mention the cost of the ferry...)

I agree! That's much better... :)

Does anyone have tracks covering the McGinty area caches? I am going there Saturday and thought I could use them to help optimize my trail.

As a member of the Lost Patrol (a.k.a. the "multitude of woodland creatures"), "optimizing my trail" sounds like blasphemy :lol: (especially coming from Sarge)! :)

 

(I've got some tracks if you want them...)

 

Thanks everyone. I received some tracks covering the whole area. I should be good now, but I don't promise that I wont go the wrong way. :) If I don't post by Sunday at midnight, come get me.. :lol:

I hate to be contrary here, but Fatboy is correct, it was obviously a case of mistaken identity. As proof of that position I only have to mention one thing; all the remaining beer was back at Skillet's Camp as we all left, do any of you really beleive Fatboy would have left that beer unprotected?

Has anyone explored the Arroyo Tapiado Mud Caves? I have taken the Bandits out there a few times we had a blast exploring the caves. I was thinking of getting a group together for a day of exploring. Here are coords. There are a lot of caches out there. N 32 55.630 W 116 11.706
