Paul,

I'm coming to Kansas this year. We'll be riding on your leg into Fort Morgan. I am bringing Pat Patterson with me as well. Are you staying at Lake Wilson? If so Pat and I may stay at his cabin, sounds like it is very close to your place. Will confirm later but that is the plan as of now.

Hi Paul, Desty and I are planning on riding as far as Craig.  Do you have room for two more at your place?

Thanks much, Nolan

I used garmin basecamp to make our Missouri route and when I export the gpx file and then try to copy/paste or share in any way it won't let me, not sure why. I saved it to my desktop. Any other tips?

[psimpson]

If it makes a GPX file and saves it, you should be able to go to the bottom of your  message (when you reply) and choose it.

Of the 2 files I've posted, according to Rever, one draws the line to follow and the other also has turn by turn instructions.  I've got a Garmin Nuvi and was able to attach it to the computer where I had made and saved the route in Rever and copy it to the Nuvi and see the route.

 

Any one else had success or failure with the files I've shared?

[EYROYS]

There are plenty of videos of basecamp on YouTube but haven't seen one yet on the easiest way to share the file. Will look more into it this week.

[Longshot]

Paul, et. al.:  I have tested positive for the China Virus today and will not be on leg 8 with you.  Hopefully I will recover enough to wave at you when you go through Greeley on leg 9.

 

[psimpson]

Sorry to hear that, hope you aren't feeling bad
