We then took Rampart rd to the "Fern Creek" and other trails listed trail-head sign. We took what I think was Fern Creek? Maybe further? Rd 358 seems to catch my mind. not sure to be honest on where exactly we were. "Those who are wandering, are not always lost.":cool:

Cool little rocky road part we got to play on. Looks like an old mine area, there are multiple roads to take to the top. Very cool camp sites back up in there.

Down the trail we went to find a couple dead ends we figured we see how far we could get.

Very nice, that looks like the EXACT route I usually take, pond, creek and all. Wish I could have made it, that Shock absorber project took longer than I thought.

do you know what rd that is?? haha i wish i would've paid attention more. too bad you couldn't make it. we still have a bit of the season left (i hope) we can always go back.

[hurley842002]

Ummmm, can't remember off the top of my head. I have the whole route tracked on my Droid, I'll have to check it out. Long hollow road is coming to mind though.

that sounds familiar, what app do ya use for that?

[hurley842002]

My Tracks, it's really sweet. Tells you average speed,distance,highest elevation, average elevation, yadi yadi ya. The program just uses your Google earth, so then you can e-mail it to yourself or whoever and access it on your computer.
