yep..if you wanna do all the pavememnt..but if you want more dirt, go north on 59 to Liberty Hill Rd to Barkers Gap then circle around back to your track there at Pannell road..pretty easy..bring up the bypass and look at it and you will see what I am talking abt

If you guys want some free topo maps that will load into MapSource check these out:

http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/state/ar

I've got two loaded that seem pretty nice:

Arkansas Topo 24k+
http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/137/

Arkansas Contour 20ft Overlay
http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/370/

After installing you will see a pulldown in MapSource where you can change maps. Kind of nice to see what the topos look like for all of these GPXs.

I think the overlay can be used on a gps in conjunction with a base street map. That way the topo will be overlaid. The first one, the Arkansas Topo 24k+, is nice in MapSource, but when I used it on my Nuvi at SLAP last year it was too much information unless I really zoomed in.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw this out there since it's a pretty cool freebie.

This route was sent to me by our very own Elwuss (elvis/Darron)..this is a couple of routes together..a route from White Rock to Natural Dam thru Warloop and Pannell road..NOT BIG BIKE FRIENDLY!

A route from Oark up to Partheon/Jasper, over thru Kingston and back towards Fayetteville..

I converted this route from a GDB to GPX in Mapsource 2010.1

again, this is not a track! It is a route.

Here ya go. Enjoy.

I played with the bypass last night before I saw your post. I'm getting better with Mapsource, but wanted to be sure the lee creek bypass was as much off road as possible.

If I invert the route, some of the roads change on the route

I wanted to invert it and have it on hand incase we got a late start on saturday and wanted lunch on time in Oark. I just ended up redrawing the route using the same waypoints and the routing tool.

Doc asked me to put together a route and lead it on Saturday at the SLAP event. Here is a layout of it and a gpx route.

Check it out. I look forward to riding it with some of you next weekend.

Here is the same ride in a track for all you trackers.

Here is a ride for Friday afternoon that I would be glad to lead whoever is interested. I plan to arrive about noon or shortly thereafter. Ride is about a 3 to 3-1/2 hour ride depending on how often we stop and smell the roses. The route goes from WR to Possom Trot Creek and around then up to St. Paul and Bidville back to WR.

Count me in OLEARY. I should arrive around 11 AM Friday and will be on a 2009 Kawa KLX 250, unless I bring my truck due to bad weather. Planning to follow JasonK94Z on Saturday, so this should be a good warm up. Hope my puny 2 gallon gas tank will not be an issue, as plan to keep a tank of gas at the Lodge, and a siphon in my pack just in case!

I friday afternoon ride sounds good, I plan on being there Thursday night or early Friday. Still trying to figure out the new GPS so tag along would be great if I could.

I will also be on a 09 KLX but with 4 1/2 gal of gas so I'll have some extra if needed.

[JasonK94Z]

Would love to go on the Friday afternnon ride, but might not be there till 1pm or so. Too late for a 3 hour, but me and my bud may just head out exploring for an hour or two.

aint nuttin wrong with that! If you stay on the main roads, it's real hard to get lost..road layout is pretty simple..we will try to have a large basic road map up for you to look at and get the idea

If by chance the weather does not cooperate Friday afternoon I will give it a go Sunday morning with this ride if there are some takers.
