The bathroom.

Actually, nowhere this year. I have a lot of trails to explore locally in Northern Lower Michigan starting a half mile from the house to keep me busy all summer. I have all year (the perks of retirement) to ride without having to plan a getaway. I'd need a trailer for anything else anyway. I haven't added that to the arsenal yet.

I'm headed back to the desert shortly, almost missed the spring riding season dicking around at home.

Get yerself a tablet and a track recording GPS app, I have GAIA on an iPad.

Why? So you can make yer own one of these. This lights me up every time I see it - 1500 miles of smiles in southern Utah. Since it records, you know where you haven't been yet.

I like this idea. Do you know of anything of this sort for an Android phone if I cheap skate out and not buy a tablet for that purpose?

Being a senior and computer phobe, I'm the wrong one to ask but I'd bet dollars to donuts that GAIA also has an Android app.

Well, lookie here -

Gaia works on Androids also. And, they normally have a GPS chip to avoid having to use a remote GPS receiver.

That mapping app looks awesome! I’m going to be getting bob ts maps installed for West Virgina, but the recording app looks awesome!

You can get a cheap android tablet for around 100 bucks, low memory no frills. I have one that was cheap, I only use it for trail maps though!

Awesome! Gilbert suppose to be an awesome little town, Il be in in Williamson which is only a little bit away. We plan on making it down to Gilbert but that will be as far as we go.

 

[Bigshow]

Yes Gilbert is a nice little town. This will be my 6th time staying there, 1st time with the Talon. I really enjoy H&M system.

Good point, I need to mention the GPS chip when I recommend getting a tablet. That chip makes a tablet more expensive.

I like apps like GAIA because it uses standard topo maps, so 'everywhere' is readily available. I have downloaded some maps but I don't think they're regional, the icon just says GAIA Topo, for instance. I'm not sure on that though, but I have a scrolling topo even when I don't have a cell signal. 🤔 (to clarify - scrolling topo means the location icon follows me on a ride and the map follows)

The cheaper tablets I've looked at don't have a GPS chip, do you have to download maps for each area? And how does it know where you are without a chip? If you know of a $100 tablet with a chip, can you post a link for us? Note that you can get a GPS receiver to work with a tablet but I'd rather have it contained in one unit - I have no idea what the price comparison would be between the two choices.

Elk hunted that area on a drop camp hunt packing in with mules during the September rut. Never did shoot that dream bull but I got damn close and left me with my best hunt story in my life.

We are also thinking of the Black Hills maybe in July or after Sturgis.

Did you find a central location to camp when you were here? May be looking for a place to go in a week or so (weather permitting). Not opposed to dry camping, but we are kinda fussy about road/parking area condition after we leave the asphalt
