You just need to save the kml out of Google Earth? Just right click the path or folder, or whatever it is, inside of the My Places block on the left hand side of the screen and click "Save Place As" If it's multiple paths or pinpoints, you can make a folder, put them all in that, do the sa...

Nevermind... it's right on the USGS Quad. Silly me. I have a .kmz a route all the way from 8 mile lake to Kantishna now (past Stampede mine) if anyone wants to see it.

A while back, I distinctly remember seeing a map that showed the Stampede Trail in it's entirety; not just the portion that goes from the highway to the bus. Now though, I can't seem to find it. Has anyone else seen this map, and/or know where I can find it? I would really appreciate any help you gu...

You also might consider posting your intention to visit the bus on the Hiking The Stampede Trail forum at: http://hikingthestampedetrail.freeforums.org/ It's March now and as we head into hiking season there will be more people paying attention to that. Site traffic has been up by quite a bit in the...

Not to stir the pot or anything, but I think I'm on the same page with Steve. Forsberg seems to be a decent enough guy. He's commented on the video of me crossing the Tek, and I've seen him comment various other places about Stampede Trail related issues. I tried to get in touch with him when I was ...
