I was testing out the OruxMaps Android app so that I could have maps saved to my phone next time I’m hiking without cell reception. I finally figured out the program, and I think it’ll be very useful in the future. But in the app I also found information that led me to everytrail.com. Everytrail will allow me to plot an entire trip to the map, and then have the photos play in a slideshow along the trail. I haven’t used my Droid to plot any trails yet, but since my photos are all geocoded I was able to import the photos into a map slideshow. Pretty cool: Mt Washington – Lion Head Trail to Huntington Ravine Trail
Everytrail also has an android app I’m going to have to try out next time.
Went to New Jersey to snag my second high point with Finelli (his third high point). We drove to the parking lot on the east side of High Point hoping to take the Monument Trail to the High Point tower. Turns out we didn’t do enough research and the Monument Trail loops around on the other side. We had to road walk and then take a maintained trail the short hike to the tower. It was a short, easy hike.
The tower itself however was a long, hot staircase. Definitely more intense than the hike. :)
I started my goal of attempting to summit the highest point in all 50 states by summiting Mount Greylock in Massachusetts on May 22nd 2010. It was an easy hike up the thunderbolt trail.
