NELRC Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - Maine North Woods - 6/22/13-6/25/13

anyone use BackCountry Navigator? i have hte pro version but not the fancy $30 terra something or other overlay. Also can't figure out how to load the KML file Brian made for the trip into it.

Sweet my kinetic strap arrived today. It's rated for up to 29000lbs, no way I'm breaking another strap now lol.

Drew some quick planned tracks. If you have a map, let me know you're thoughts. These add from newport to the planes, and then from the planes to I95 in Howland, ME

They seem to be working in both backcountry navigator, and google earth.

Having issues with the site, and quoting. Wont let me post text not within the quote. But anyway.....

Took me awhile to figure out how to load them into backcountry navigator. Click on the little map looking button on the top bar. At the bottom of that menu is "showing tracks and waypoints from trip..." Click that, and then "import gpx or kml". I made the last 2 KMl's because google earth can save to that natively.

There is a icon of a page 4 down from the smilie face. Click that to go back to HTML code.

Major trouble with my truck today... ran out of washer fluid...

whoo... that was a close one.

see you guys up there

i just checked my cell phone data map up in Maine. as soon as you leave the i-95 corridor, my phone is useless. didnt check other major carriers like verzion, surely their network is better. i also changed some stuff on the forum. let me know if anything is driving you crazy. main thing was the font color i made brighter.

With T-Mobile it says "service partner" but like Ed once you leave the I95 corridor coverage gets a little spotty.

isnt that kinda the point?

btw, a/c drain was clogged. a little massaging of the nipple, and about a gallon of water came out

I checked mine with ATT and Im fine until the Caribou check point from there to the Trains Im out ....damm and I work for ATT ,got to build more towers!!

Sand contaminated my replacement TC in storage, but 6 hours of work and I now have freshly resealed 2002 TC for my D1 

Dropping it in tomorrow...

sand in Transfer case from New Jersey!? no way....

Wish I could join you guys on this trip.  Have a great time and takes lots of pics and video.

I can't make this one either.. Truck is up and ready but I have track races schedualed for the next 4 weekends.. Enjoy it guys..

Dan, did you decide if your coming? And if so, are you bringing your SPOT? If so, I'd like to give my wife the website link to follow us along

I'll post mine once operational.

i went for a couple drinks after work (which i never do) yesterday, and my girl got home before me. I didn't text or call and i walked in 2 hours later and she had already thought about which of my friends would help her move out when she found out I was dead.... she also said Brian was most likely to show up at the door to announce my death. LOL. i said he might be carrying the folded union jack. so yeah the link would be sweet.

Shit!  I thought the end of that story was going to be... So I can't go.
