    Mount Ingalls Route(s)

    No biggie. There may be other GIS that expect the .tfw or .fgd. It's a varied bunch of software. :)

    Mount Ingalls Route(s)

    It loads in ArcMap without the .tfw file. The metadata appears to be in the header of the file. I can see the projection when I look at the file's properties in the table of contents.

    Mount Ingalls Route(s)

    Thanks for the link Doug. I might be one of the few who thought it was terrible when the USGS went from GeoTIFF (.tif) to GeoPDF. That link will not only be helpful for hiking, but for work. If you didn't know, what you have provided can be loaded into ArcGIS or any other GIS.

    Mount Ingalls Route(s)

    I believe the part you are talking about starts across from the Pine Knoll Campground. Where did you get your information? The gate you're talking about is at the White Ledge Campground?. I did notice that it seemed to close early last year. I am not sure if this is permissible, but I did park...

    Mount Ingalls Route(s)

    I am visiting the area for about a week from the Pacific Northwest. I moved out there from Maine about five months ago. I am seeking information about the route(s) to Mount Ingalls. I am planning on hiking this Saturday. From what I have read here and elsewhere, it seems the Scudder Trail has...

    Big trees and snow for sure. Even the maple leafs are outrageous. One of the things my brother and I noticed were the Oregon Maples. :eek:

    Thanks to everyone who made suggestions. I finally arrived in Washington state a week and a half ago, settled in, and went on my first hike Sunday. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=35127&id=100000720654864&l=56a9b364b9 I believe I'll grow to love this state. :D

    Geocaching off Passaconaway?

    I wouldn't worry about it. :) I didn't notice the geocaches. I think the rule is dumb, but I don't make the rules.

    Geocaching off Passaconaway?

    I have no idea. If you want to pm me the coordinates, then I can let you know if they are in the wilderness area. I'm not going to report anyone. Just offering my assistance to let you know if they are in the wilderness area or not.

    Geocaching off Passaconaway?

    Clarification My experience is going up the trail. Overall, the trail is easy to follow except for the aforementioned caveats. I suspect it's not much different going down. If you don't mind sharing, what is your complete route? You're welcome. Enjoy! :)

    Square Ledge Branch Junction With Square Ledge Trail

    Last weekend I hiked a convoluted route to cover some trails I had never tread. The route was Old Mast->Wonalancet Range->Walden->East->Dicey's->Passaconaway Outlook->Dicey's->East->Square Ledge->Old Mast to return. I recommend the north outlook. Warning, .3 and 200 feet elevation loss from the...
