switchback166 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Has anyone had trouble downloading state archives? When I log in to http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_archive.prl and get the list of states and choose Pennsylvania, I get an error message "SORRY - Currently no data exists for". I have tried for nearly a week and get the same message. Am I doing something wrong (I've done this before) or are the state archives database out of order? I'd hate to go in and download individual datasheets. Quote
+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hi switchback166, Get NGS state files from here. I think the archive URL is no longer used. Quote
topflitejr1 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 BD Trackers, What would be the correct 2 letter code for California? I don't see a CA.ZIP. Quote
+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Hmmm, that's creepy. I guess you could write the webmaster. Alternatively, there is one here. A few months old, but not so bad. Quote
switchback166 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Thanks Black Dog, I'll give yours a try. It's been awhile since I downloaded from the archive and I did like the old way where you could select by county within the state. There are parts of my state I probably never will get to search so I may not want data sheets for those counties. Thanks again for the new url. Quote

Wintertime Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Weird/creepy/prophetic...? Does the NGS know something we don't? Klemmer, get out of there! At least I'm on the eastern side of the San Andreas Fault, so I get to stay with the rest of the continent... Patty Quote
topflitejr1 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks BD Trackers. It so happens that I live right next to the San Andreas Fault. I was able to dodge the '94 quake AND the recent wildfires. Quote
+Klemmer Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, AZcachemeister. We keep some Boogey Boards and rafts handy in the garage. Also, both my Jeep and TeddyBearMama's car have those neat window-breaker hammers within arms reach of the driver at all times (true!) But after the Big One, you will have ocean front property, right? And then you can help NGS convert many Arizona vertical control marks to Tidal Benchmarks. Quote
+LSUFan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I use Jim's webpage to get county (or parish in my case) datasheets. http://www.holoscenes.com/special/geocac/ds_archive.html Quote

Is there a Je on there? Maybe there has been a vote we didn't hear about and the State of Jefferson is now a reality. Quote
