2013 RVForum Moab ACTIVITIES

... come to find out gpx files are not allowed

What's a GPX track/file? Sounds like a GPS-generated file (?) If I know what they are, maybe I can enable them here.

This is a screenshot of the cell that hit the campground at 11:30 last night,

Andrea and Gary

It looks like it was targeted right at Moab.  I know I thought I was going to have to chase down our window awnings when it hit.

Thanks for posting that Gary.

Mike.

O.K. Folks.  Apparently the link to the slide show did not work, Soooooooooo go to

www.photodex.com/share/remarabito   

There are five slide shows up there.  "Visions" is the first shown, so click on it and then click on Loop All and it should show nicely on any PC.

Wendy, I don't know where Dome Plateau is so I called it Flat Rock.

Another  fantastic day in Moab.  The Firey Furnace group arrived home with stories to tell but my heroes are  Margaret and Larry who  hiked Delicate Arch right after Firey Furnace! Good going!

Steve was all smiles as he got to do a ride along  with Frank and Barb on a 4 wheel trip.  Wonder if we see a Jeep in his future? Henry got versed on a rolling  10/ 100 but he says in Texas they just call it  " taking a leak."

Ladies  lunch and shopping was a hit as usual  Shirley M treated herself to  a lovely investment treasure of fine turquoise and silver jewelry.

We lost  Phil and Doris as they head back to Salt Lake City in the morning, but we welcomed Corrine as  Bill brought her in late last night! 
Dates for a possible RVForum Moab rally next year were set at May 11-17, 2014. Ardra said she would coordinate attendees again.  I heard many interested in rallies in other  places too.  So just call out a date and set a place and I'll bet someone will come to  that rally too.

Thursday May 16 Awards.

Ardra won for not being able to identify the first stage of the trail on Firey Furnace.

Larry presented his Happy Face to  Gary who finally found the trail and  made smiles on all 13 faces of those on the trail.  He did  mention Margaret for Honorable mention for hiking 2 trails in 1 day.

Randy gave his car to the group of Women so we had a ride to lunch and shopping.  We did tee hee as it was almost out of gas.

This group knows how to laugh.

yes, it's a "global gps track exchange" file format... usable in many mapping programs and GPS units... alas not in Garmin Nuvi's without some more work though.  The FMCA 4Wheelin' chapter uses *.gpx files extensively to exchange offroad tracks...

i used BackCountryNavigator App to record a track on an android phone on the FF hike today and tried to post it as an attachment for others to use

Where is Dome Plateau ?

North of Colo River, South of Arches NP and east of 191...  about 30mi East on 128  to Dewey Br

[Tom]

You're welcome. One minor clarification, I didn't bother to enable .GPX (uppercase). Let me know if I need to enable that also.

 

[Wendy]

Thanks for the Dome Plateau location. Been out to Dewey Bridge many times but didn't know Dome Plateau.

Randy brought "Care Bear" along to play golf today.  Below are some photos from the round.  Care Bear was the winner.  He/she shot an 82.  Randy a 91 so you can see how good that was.  We had great temperatures for the round.

The club aloud us to play a Fivesome.  Care Bear, Randy, Shirley Ron and Jan.

All of us had a great time.
