No postings for quite a while, thanks mainly to spending a lot of time emailing and on Facebook. But that forum has its obvious limitations, so maybe it's time to do some occasional blogging.
NOTE: The following is not spam. My Droid has an app called MapMyWalk which now (thanks to a new version of Google Earth) offers a impressive video flyover for exercise and hiking routes. Here's an example from a hike on Sunday up Kings Mtn, in the Oregon Coast Range about a half hour from where I live. The heavy forest seems to interfere with the GPS output, making it look like I was lost even though the trail is out-and-back via a single route. It's an evergreen forest, mostly second-growth Douglas fir, but the trees are rounded, making it look like they're hardwoods. Otherwise, it's an impressive visualization of the route.
