Webby...is there a way to save maps, route descriptions, etc to this site? Allows people to post known routes so folks can download them if they want to go exploring. I don't think we are allowed to attach pdf files, only jpgs/gifs.

I would want these some place only visible by members along with the disclaimer, explore the new world at your own risk! Some of the roads change from gravel to asphalt to gravel over a year or two. Same goes for potholes!
Thanks

You can attach pdfs. Or you are supposed to be able to

Did you make that change or has it always been like that? I tried to attach a pdf in the past and it wouldn't let me. Once I changed it to a jpg and was able to attach it.

I just attached one and it worked. It's always been this way. When you try to attach it, it should say "Your file type is something/something" and post what that says.

I love the idea. Maybe Webby can create a new category under Gallery called Maps or Routes. We can store all the routes for trips with code names or numbers. This way all we have to do is say that Sunday we're going to do route #3 to Madison (he he). Then we can look at it and print it for the trip.

I like that idea of making everyone responsible for bringing their own copy of the map/directions.

I never know how many to bring for Z trips and hate to run out or print too many. Plus with this group, having to print 50+ for one of the big runs gets costly, especially in color.
