GPS/GPX mapping software

I'm considering updating (i.e replacing) my laptop, which I use primarily to store my hiking pics and tracks from my hikes, which are mostly in GPX format. I have Delorme Topo installed on my computer, which I have used for 2 decades now. I was looking for an updated version of this software and it ...

Re: Spur Cross Heat Exhaustion Death

This area can be tricky for newbies. From the TH, you enter a county park, which has very easy and smooth trails. Then once you get outside the county park boundary, you're on Tonto NF trails, which are notoriously more rugged and difficult to hike. If someone isn't aware of that and has hiked in th...

Re: Maricopa trail... where can one camp?

Yeah, it would be pretty dicey trying to camp. It's maintained by Maricopa county and they only allow camping at their designated campsites within the parks, which may require reservations. I've seen spots in between the parks where it could be done, or looks like it may have been done. But they hav...

Re: SR87 - aka Beeline Hwy

I saw them going up Gilbert Road last week. It spend the night at the bridge by the river before they took it the rest of the way.

Re: Hiking with poor vision

Could it be BPPV (vertigo)? I get that sometimes, it started 2 years ago. It's an inner ear issue that makes you feel off balance when you move your head. Looking down and up quickly can make you feel off balance. I'll have it for a week or so and then it goes away.

Re: Shared on Twitter!

@chumley
I've always considered HAZ to be another social media platform (actually, one of the very first). Because we're such a small community, it doesn't seem like it or have that far reaching effect. I've always thought that once I post something here, it's fair game to be shared.

Re: Coronavirus and hiking

The test for antibodies will be the difference maker when or if that gets readily available. Then yer teflon and can't carry. Article today I believe quotes Fauci as saying that's 2-3 weeks away.

Re: 44? Hikers Rescued from Lost Dutchman State Park Overnight

@AZLumberjack I wouldn't expect them to stop a large group. My point is that, once it's brought all the attention from being in rescue mode, it would seem reasonable that it might at least be brought up that by the way, your group is also beyond the legal size limit in the wilderness area you delib...

Re: 44? Hikers Rescued from Lost Dutchman State Park Overnight

So at some point these people must have left LDSP and crossed the boundary into the wilderness. Shouldn't the 15 person limit come into play somewhere? Looks the priority of that rule is very low.
