quote nctry: "I then got waypoints and track files from a guy on solotripping.com." All you had to do is ask ... I also have the park-distributed list of campsites converted into a GPS overlay file. (Don't remember if I got the data from Claire or Shannon ... but its Shannon's project.) If you are "looping back" through Nutria (1st lake west of Mexican Hat), you probably need to check-in with the park staff before you go. It can be a swampy mess (or impassable) if you have low water levels. dd |

As an aside, when were there (August 12th-20th) the water levels were high. We ran into someone going through Nutria and he didn't seem to have any major complaints. Good luck! :) Make sure you bring a deep diving bright-colored rapala to troll behind your canoe... |

quote Marten: "When you paddle away from the Leano access turn around and look at where you just passed. Surprisingly, many have a hard time finding it at the end of a trip." When I departed from there on my first trip, I was glad I'd put a GPS waypoint there so I could find it on my way out. On my second time leaving from there, it had been brushed back a bit and was much more obvious. dd |

Yes the GPS map was a late thought because I didn't know if I wanted to spend the 100$ on something I wouldn't use to much. I don't need the GPS as I am pretty strong with a map and compass, but I do like to have it along to mark waypoints, trip details, and a little extra piece of mind. Thanks! Tim |
