Crawdaddy 96 Posted June 10, 2008 Lifted these tracks off GPSXchange......(always on the lookout for new/off beat Tracks to build up "our" SDAR Track library ) Check out this thread on D37 for write up/photos/add'l links with more info on crash sites: http://www.district37ama.org/forums/showthread.php?t=21867 Narrative from GPSXchange: 193 mile easy ride. Requires a plated dual sport bike with an absolute minimum fuel range of 90 miles. Mostly dirt roads and jeep trail with a sections of easy single track, sandwashes and a bit of paved road. The route starts at Kramer's Junction with gas available at Hinkley and Johannesburg. There is a bailout option from the Husky monument back to Kramers. The route passes by the following points of interest: Possible X-31 crash site (I have not confirmed this yet) Harper Lake/Lockhart area (was an early flying wing aircraft test facility) Gas at Hinkley (be sure to top it all the way off) Rainbow Basin Scenic Loop XB-70 Crash Site and Monument F-104 Crash Site and Monument Black Mountain Petroglyphs Husky Monument (fun sandwash and single track trail) Alternate bailout to Kramers with B-1 crash site along the way Cuddyback drylake bed (the KTM goes 92mph with stock gearing) Jo-Burg for gas then to Randsburg for lunch Randsburg to El Paso Mts via paved road Optional loop to Walsh cabin (great views!) Burro Schmidt Tunnel Edith E Cabin (check it out!) Mingus Mead and Dawson Cabins (near old WWII airstrip) X-15 Monument (Eagle Scout's project - very nicely done) Red Mountain (paved road - Trona Rd to 395 then back to dirt roads) Eagle (shaped) dry lakebed - very distinctive from the air Boron Radar (we used to use this site for INS overfly fixes back in the days before GPS) Closed Federal Minimum Security Prison X_Plane_Crash_Site_Tour.txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsherod 0 Posted June 11, 2008 I'm not clear what to do with these tracks. I tried to rename as a .gpx and open with Google earth, but no love. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks Renaming as a .gpx won't work because it's a .gdb (Garmin) file It's listed/attached in GPSXchange in both formats .gdb and .gpx......I only attached the .gdb file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I attached the .gpx flavor to this thread in case you're not registered on GPSXchange.....and if not, go sign up.....good/free resource.
