FEATURED
MAP
National
Geographic: Washington digital maps
A 7-DC set of all the USGS 1:24000, 1:100000, and 1:500000 scale maps
for the State of Washington.
GPS ready, seamless statewide coverage, enhanced
with 3D digital shading, professional photo quality output.
I have been using this program for the last couple of weeks and find
it useful and easy to work with. Adding waypoints to my maps was
easy. There are three different ways to add waypoints to a map; direct
from a GPS unit, imported from a text file, and importing from Windows
clipboard. Transferring the waypoints to and from my GARMIN GPS was
simple with the use of a Windows wizard to walk through the steps.
There are three different types of GPS units supported including the NMEA
standard; Garmin, Magellan, and Eagle/Lowrance.
The maps are the standard USGS maps with the added option of displaying
them with relief shading. This option makes the maps look quite a
bit better, and I leave this option on all the time.
I would rather be able to go directly to the 1:24000 scale maps instead
of having to step down through the 5 different levels to reach the most
detailed of the maps, but this is just a minor irritation.
Over all I think this is a good map product and would compliment any
ones GPS.

HIKE
OF THE MONTH
Riverside Trail
(Description taken from 50 Old-Growth Hikes by John and Diane Cissel)
To reach this trail turn right into the trailhead parking area in Rainbow
Camp Ground off of Rd. 46, 1/2 mile past the Ripplebrook Ranger Station
(25 3/4 mi. SE of Estacada). another 3 mi. on Rd. 46 will get you
to the other trailhead at Riverside Camp Ground.
| This National Recreation Trail (#715) can be hiked from either end,
for any length, in any season, and can be enjoyed by all. The two
finest old-growth groves are located at opposite ends of the trail.
Both groves boast Douglas-firs and western red cedars 4-5' thick, with
occasional old-timers reaching even greater dimensions. Unique views
of Clackamas River open up from the top of steep banks along the northern
portion of the hike, and in the fall spawning steelhead splash and churn
the river in an annual ritual of regeneration. |
Maps that cover this trail are: 50 Old-Growth Day Hikes in the
Mt. Hood National Forest.
