Using a gps find park and play spots.

[wildherb]

Does any one use a gps to mark there park and play spots, so some one could start a park and play or river run data base,kind of like geo cache. I know finding the start of you next aventure or epic is half the fun. :Wall :D so if you have any grid cordinates west of denver it would be realy cool to get them i plan to hit the road next spring after my tour ala duty of iraq,there is also a rock climbing book its called rock and road i would like to do the same for kayacking info across the U.S.A.. :p Some suggestions would be nice on these things

Can't say I have ever thought of that. I will be hitting the road across the U.S. next march, so i might look into it! On a side note, Thanks for all your help as a Service man. I have a good friend heading over to Iraq as well. let us know if there is any good boating? haha, just playing.

Hope all is well

Heya wildherb,

First, let me extend a heartfelt thank you for your service and defense of our country and way of life. Although, I am not allways exactly aligned with our political decisions, I am absolutely 100% in SUPPORT of and thankful for our serviceman and the risks they take. With that said, be safe over there.

As to your question, I have been using a GPS to mark hikes, hiking trails, building maps, and a database of information for the last two years here in Montana. I have just started (this year) doing the same thing with my kayaking. I've made some progress and one of my fall/wintertime projects was to modify my exisiting database of hike info to fit with Kayaking infor (Access programming). I have not completely figured out what to include and what type of sorts would be the most beneficial, so I would be very interested in any input you might have. Colloborate?

Those are my thoughts for now. Would enjoy discussing further.

Peaceout Warrior,
Hawk
