I'm not sure what format those coordinates are in, they didn't say. That may be the problem. I haven't overlaid it in Mapsource yet so I'm not sure.
And yeah, good call on the meals.

They could be way off, maybe up to a 1-2 tenths of a mile (as XRock and I found out up in Utah on our hiking trip). Just look at your map software and go from 35° 53.17 0 - 35° 53.17 9 and see how far apart they are (then you add in the West cords and you could be way off). It'll still get us in the general area at least.

those coordinates seemed close to my recollection, with a minor difference. they've changed the SAG stops, the second one was a long ride from the 1st. a warning for the ladies; once we get about 2 miles north of 180, there is major stretch that will take several hours with VERY few trees or scrubs to duck behind and make those mother-nature calls ...

You're right. 17 is what they gave me, though. I'll bring copies of the map this afternoon.
Also, a correction (from the HAM club) on #6, SAG 2:
N 35° 41.XX W 111° 44.XX
Sorry, no seconds for SAG 2. It's been moved West 3.5 miles closer to SAG 1.

Me and Dakota won't be making it unfortunately. There's just no way I can leave the new group for the weekend. We have very aggressive goals that need to be met and I have a subpar team. Massive training and recruiting some of my old team over will get it done in a few weeks~ Figures- Finally get that promotion and already it's affecting my Fun Time!! Have fun guys~ If you need anything, CALL ME AT WORK!!!

An effective leader can leave his team while he has fun and they will get the job done. Looks like they hired the wrong guy. Just kidding......get those bastages in shape, we'll miss you and the Brown Turd.

If the team was already great, there'd be no room for improvement. Now you can show how you grew, developed, strengthened and made a team - you can do what a good manager can do. Good Luck. Get that done post-haste so you can come out and play.
