Texas Hill Country (Feb 18-20, 2011)

On the PC version, you can cache up to 2GB of Google Earth images. If you have an idea where you are going, you can scan over the area you will be. When you start up GE and have no internet connection, it will run from desktop or whatever GE call that. It's a last ditch effort I use if everything else electronic fails. Then it's over to paper maps.

I actually have an app on the iPad called OffMaps which does the equivalent. I'll definitely use that next time.

What, no more pictures? I want to see exactly what I missed. Indulge my masochism, please!

Oh man, I just found about this board and looks like I just missed out. Too bad, I'm right around the corner in SA. Looks like a great run though. /jealous.

Ditto!

I was just about to mention OffMaps. This is about the only reason I would get an iPad, for the awesome touchscreen/zooms with interactive maps, and this is the best "looking" app I've found. I don't have an iPad, so I'm tempted to get it on my phone first... How do you like it? PM me if you want to avoid the hijack...

Yeah that would have been at the unintended detour #1

Yeah, me too. I was staring at the sky all weekend as I drove around with the doors off in February. Better weather wouldn't have been possible. I need a job that doesn't interfere with my play time!

yeah it was a beautiful weekend. you need a job that does not interfere and i need a job that will pay for my outdoor obsessions of which there are many.

It was great to see old friends, meet new ones, and finally put faces to the people I have "known" for some time.

Thanks to everyone for a great trip. A bunch of cool folks taking a pleasant drive in the country. Doesn't get much better.

I didn't take many pics this trip, but I'll get mine posted up soon, as well as work with Scott to get a video put together.

Can't wait 'til the next trip!

That's what ended unintended detour #1.... and the threat of several highly armed friends on the way. :costumed-smiley-007

Nice shot. I like the yellow from the fogs thru the water spray
