311 Archipelago Trail is in the works...

Accurate pelim map of the new 311 Archipelago Trail RUSA route

Finally finished up the video of the route. Packaged up everything and sent it over to Crista, the Permanent Co-Ordinator at RUSA. I called it the 311 Archipelago Trail. One big loop from Mule Hill all the way around to San Diego. Also a ferry ride in there. It took weeks to complete just the video. I wasn't very happy with the layout, map and detail of explaining the route to others on screen. Also redid the soundtrack several times. The first and last parts are quite OK with me.

I would expect to change a few things, add some more INFO controls and other things to get it listed. Quite difficult doing trails, when a mile away is a road that goes to the same place! Can't just stick in some INFO at every corner where there is a shortcut. Never work and too much hoopla.

The route recons, check-ups and plotting took a few more months. Really a drawn out route. Almost 200 miler. Real tough route with 96 miles of dirt and 30+ of Bike Paths. The rest on mixed roads and smooth stuff.

happy trails!
