We are out hiking through the woods near our house.
Katie Beth is having a great time limbing over logs and collecting leaves for her mommy.
We are about to start turning over logs to look and see.
Frog on the Trail
We are having a great time on the trail. Katie Beth is enjoying looking at all the bugs, animals, and plants.
We are having to watch her near the poisin ivy, which is everywhere.
Looking Pretty on the Trail
Karen is looking pretty on the trail with a Morning Glory in her hair.
Hiking at the Land Trust
We are enjoying the flowers and the views.
We could be pushing Katie Beth’s nap time.
Mid Columbine Trail
We are hiking this morning near Helen Hunt Falls. The weather is great with sun light coming through the trees. Katie Beth is enjoying the people and pets that we are meeting on the trail.
We even made it to the falls, which are beautiful. I’ll be posting pictures later. We have hiked here before.
Turning Back for Today
We started out to late this morning so we are heading back down. Next weekend we try again.
Someone Didn’t Make It
We are still hiking the trail.
Hiking Barr Trail
Everyone is still all smiles.
Garmin Releases Apps for OS X
Last week, Garmin released beta versions of their Macintosh applications to support their GPS units.
They have five parts to their support.
Bobcat, which provides these capabilities:
- Bobcat allows you to transfer waypoints, tracks, and routes between your Mac and Garmin device and manage your data using your Garmin maps.
- Bobcat provides the ability to search for points of interest from the convenience of your Mac and then send the locations to your Garmin GPS.
- Bobcat also serves as a backup tool for your Garmin GPS. You can receive all your waypoints, routes, and tracks from your GPS and Bobcat will save them automatically.
MapInstall, which installs maps onto your Garmin USB GPS devices and SD card readers.
MapManager, which copies maps and unlock codes into the right place to be accessible by Bobcat and MapInstall.
MapConverter, which converts Windows PC maps for migration to the Mac.
POI Loader, which is free software for your computer that lets you upload customized POIs to your compatible Garmin unit. POI Loader does not create customized POIs, nor is it software for your Garmin GPS. It simply gives you the ability to upload POIs created by others from your computer to your compatible Garmin — making it easy for you to navigate directly to these points of interest.
If you are Macintosh user and you have a Garmin GPS, I suggest you checkout Garmin's Apple-Mac Blog.
I enjoy my Garmin setup:
Karen Completed the Hike to Barr Camp
Karen and I hiked to Barr Camp on the Barr Trail. The Barr Trail starts in Manitou Springs, Colorado and ends on Pikes Peak Mountain with Barr Camp sitting about half way to the top.
The weather was great for the hike. The temperature was cool with an almost clear skys. A light breeze was blowing.
Karen pushed hard to make the camp. She was a real trooper on the 12+ mile hike. I think the worst part of the hike is down, because of the pounding on your joints.
Karen is already talking about making the hike to the top of Pikes Peaks.
