How close can you go?

[Offroad]

Here is my new game I play when riding with no place in particular to go.

This was my day on the 1100 while every one else boated....great ride..."my goal was to stay as close to the water as possible without hitting dirt or gravel roads"...only got gravel twice ;-).....But even then they were short valuable short cuts only a few hundred feet long that put me back on the path I wanted.



Google is so amazing....I love it I just hope they don't take over the world ;-)

I downloaded the Google Map of the area (20mb) to my Offline maps because I knew I would lose cell phone service, but with the downloaded map and GPS, I could still navigate using Google.

I just used the "my current location" button and I showed up as a little blue dot with a "headlight" on it showing my current direction.

I could zoom in or out while riding whether I needed more precision or not.

As long as I was heading in the general direction without hitting a dead end I was OK, but Google Maps were so precise they even showed all the roads in State Parks, Marinas, Camping Areas!

Note to self: order touch screen gloves as I sun burned my hands keeping my gloves off to work the screen.

I spent most of the day under 40 mph and about half under 20 mph....it was a nice pleasant day!

The road in the "Land Between the Lakes" was exceptional!

I can recommend the restaurant at Eddy Creek.



We ate their twice....I forgot to take pictures....but every sandwich was giant!
