Hi all,

Does anyone have a copy of the Arch Harris Camp and Portage waypoint data in GPX format?

Butthead was kind enough to send me the file in GDB format a few years ago, which worked for my etrex, but unfortunately it will not load to my new Inreach Explorer+. I received a portage file from Schweady a while back too, but was hoping to find a combined file if anyone had one?

Asking since the original website where this was hosting seems to be gone. This was the original URL: http://w3.cs.jmu.edu/arch/hobbies/camp/maps/bwca/bwcaw01.zip

Also: I found an archived copy of the Arch Harris site, full of data, saved on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, most recently on April 20, 2017.

tombo: I have these two files. Shall I email them to you? Probably in 2 separate mailings to keep my server from choking...

bwca-portage-tracks.gpx -- 1.9 MB -- 920 or so portage tracks

bwca-camp-port-wpt.gpx -- 2.4 MB -- 2,098 campsite waypoints.

The second file also contains endpoints for all of the portages which I find annoying to have around (not to mention the silly little airplane icons). I suggest deleting those waypoints from your collection, as they seem pretty redundant, given the portage tracks above.

Schweady, that'd be great - thank you! Will do on the clutter edits - thanks for the advice.

Another link to file I posted a bit ago, .gpx files on my onedrive for general use. A bunch of stuff I accumulated over the last few years.
