Proper Usage Guidelines

The purpose of this blog is to recount the thoughts and journeys of my friends and I. If you are only interested in the maps and hiking and such, stay here and select the appropriate tag on the right side, or check out the sister blog at http://geocachemarin.blogspot.com, which only has outdoorsy posts. Now for the instructions!

Each post has labels depending on what its about. On the right side of the page you can navigate through these tags, or through the sea of archives. Also, be sure to check out the nifty links!

The maps are all made using my Garmin etrex Legend C, uploaded into Google Earth running on OS X, then exported to KML. The Google Maps API can work the KML files to embed the map data into the blog.

The maps themselves have the tracks that we followed for that particular adventure. Each marker, when clicked on, will show fun tidbits and pictures. NEATO! Click away clickers!

If you are hardcore, you will download the KML files and put them in your own Google Earth App and really enjoy the huge amount of work I have put into this blog... even if only 3 or 4 people are ever going to look at it... Get it here.

Everything else... well enjoy it. If you don't... find a sense of humor and get back to me.
