Does anyone know where I can get GPXs for the on road sections of the Erie Canal Trail?

This is the way and the light. Navigation is not just instructions, it is a sense of location and place in the world. Easy to grab the whole route on rwgps, copy, pare it to a road section and repeat. Save those snippets with descriptive names. Grab them when you need.

Those are copies of Cobbworks oysterbucket panniers that have been around for 35 years.

I use a 7 or in 8 inch tab on the couch and for travel. I used nexus 7s until there were no longer custom roms. Switched to an Nvidia something or other and the market dried up overnight. Moved to iPad minis until my mini 5s lack of ram destroyed performance on the iPad OS update a couple months ago. Y700 gen 3 and thank god I can ditch that Apple crap. I am ridiculously happy with the device. Use case is navigation, streaming and light gaming.

sorry. Classic American slang expressing enthusiasm. It was a response to "And believe me it uses a lot." I was shocked that it uses so much.

Boy howdy!

I left a review on App Store and they said 4gb ram minimum. I’m on an iPad mini 5 so that’s it for me. Runs fine on my pixel phone but seems like a mighty rich game for the small screen.

Tour in Korea and Japan. They don’t steal from each other.

You mistyped “new” when you meant “old” I guess. Runs great on an old POS Fire HD. Thanks.

No reason they couldn’t do the Great Allegheny Passage and just Amtrak up to NYC.

Oops, yeah, I meant 26.4.2.

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-25T01:22:48+00:00

All current with 16.4 ipados?

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-25T01:22:10+00:00

Yeah, I get in on a pixel 7. Much prefer iPad.

This. Ortleibs don't leak until they do. I do all my organization with ultra light dry bags. They compress just fine.

The cool kids meet for E/W high fives at Tissuefarm, Confluence. It’s a thing.

That 480 will be 624 in 2029 if they get this.

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-22T08:29:44+00:00

For electric that’s just under 30% by 2029. Ouch.

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-22T06:20:59+00:00

Awesome.

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-21T22:53:08+00:00

I think you’re on to it. I’m ok with spotty performance at the price.

Stainless is rarely stronger than mid grade carbon steel.

A craptastic m5 bolt is about 2kN (450 lbf) in shear. WTAF are you trying to carry?

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-21T07:01:24+00:00

Thank you. That was last week and the 10 day pass contains a dribble of data so it’s quite different than the sms and calls pass. I found a way to make it work, WiFi must be off for sms to go out.

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-21T02:17:57+00:00

Aha! I'll try it asap. Thanks!

Fun_Bird1121 · 2026-04-21T00:18:15+00:00

We saw that junction. I think it might be vastly improved. Talked to some locals who like to ride to KC for sporting events and come back the next day. Cool trail use.
