I tried to post this Saturday, but it wouldn't go - kept getting a forum error. Have tried a couple more times, but still get the forum error. Retying again to see if things are working better. This is from Saturday.

 

I started out the day in front of the computer downloaded GPS coordinates from Google Earth. I found what looked like a nice network of forest roads and trails and I had over 50 waypoints of the major intersections and mid-points to export. Unfortunately, my GPS refused to lock.

 

I had only 1 satellite the whole day, the rest were dark. I don't know what was going on. Solar flare maybe? Either way, I was a little bummed.

 

I did get out to the area though, and rode around a little, but without the GPS lock, I had no idea where all those points were. So I just rode around a little, snapped a few photos and then headed off to Jordan Lake Dam.

 

Safety Third.

 

Stupid GPS, it was like this all day.

 

Jordan Lake Dam

 

Complete with razor wire and video surveillance. [&:]

 

I eventually found some trails with some shade. It was hot - 100 degrees here in North Carolina today.

 

I got a helmet cam. It works pretty good.



I've posted clips separately from it.
