With all the caching I've been doing, I thought I should spend some time getting reacquainted with Google Earth. And yet, I didn't get around to uploading any of the new stuff. Instead, I touched up some photos and made a map of a hike I made three years ago with

It was about three months ago that ojouchan and I went to San Vicente Mountain, but I finally have the documentation online:

My hike to Temescal Peak is finally finished. It should be pretty easy to see why it took so long. Ten miles, nineteen geocaches, sixty photos (not counting pages from the peak register), a video, and a few scattered waypoints. It was a big day, and there's a lot of information here.

In Google Maps, and in Google Earth.

Like I said, I've been slow to update my maps. For a while, Google Earth was crashing on me, so I lost work and got pretty disheartened. Also, the trip that I'm working on, to Temescal Peak, was pretty long and has a bunch of stuff to fiddle with.

I've been once again finding either the time or the impetus to post from work.

After work (that's Friday a.m.), I'm going to attack another summit of the Santa Monica Mountains. Once again, I'm staying close to home. This time, I'm going to visit Temescal Peak in Topanga State Park. I'm going to enter from Reseda, and generally follow the path of my last trip up there with Cramerica. I'm going to start in Marvin Braude, and head into ( Read more... )

In before the deadline, here's my hike to Mount Chapel on February 14. No pictures; I couldn't remember where I'd left my camera that morning, and I was trying to hike and come back before ojouchan had really woken up ( Read more... )

I just spent about an hour doing work to get my hikes updated in Google Earth, then it crashed and I lost everything. Aargh! And I still have to do dishes today ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I was thinking about joinging Hike the Geek, but a series of plans changing, then changing back, then changing again left me unwilling to rush to drive all the way out to Agoura. (Sorry guys.) Instead, I went to my own backyard (as it were) to hike up to Cahuenga Peak.

Here's the Google Map, and here's the Google Earth fileI spent some ( Read more... )
