Hello  to all you ATV enthusiasts,   My name is  Rod Baker.  From time to time I will be adding a few technical tidbits
for those of you who like to tinker with  your outdoor gear. Be it for your ATV or maybe a GPS unit.

One of my goals will be to map out the trails we ride on my GPS. (Garmin)  My goal is to have these trails available
on the website for download.  (Hopefully in the future  we can have downloads for the different brands of GPS
units.)   This will allow you to retrace trails that we have ridden and also you will have an idea of what the trail will
be like.   As an example,  we normally have our kids with us on our rides, and we don’t want to ride on trails that
may become to difficult for them to handle. On the other hand we may want to tackle harder trails too.

One issue that is overlooked is how to get your ATV  to your riding site.  We usually travel in our Motorhomes pulling
a trailer behind it. Be sure to check back  frequently as we will  explain how we like to travel with and without our
RVs.

As always we would love to hear from anyone who has an interest in ATVs  as we do.


See ya on the trails.

LOOKING FOR A GREAT GPS UNIT TO TAKE ON YOUR TRAIL RIDES.

I HAVE HAD MANY GPS UNITS IN THE PAST YEARS.  (I AM A GADGET NUT)  AS SOON AS A NEW VERSION
OR AN UPGRADE IS AVAILABLE I BUY IT.  

MY NEWEST UNIT IS A   GARMIN             GPSMAP  60CSx       RETAIL ABOUT $450.00

THOUGH NOT CHEAP THIS UNIT HAS IT ALL.    COLOR DISPLAY IS BRIGHT AND CLEAR  ,EASY TO USE
BUTTONS,(EVEN WITH GLOVES ON), GREAT RECEPTION DUE TO THE LATEST SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY.  
IF YOU BUY THE CITY MAPS  YOU CAN EVEN USE IT IN YOUR CAR. BATTERY LIFE IS SUPER, USED IT
NON- STOP  FOR 3 DAYS.
I BOUGHT A SPECIAL MOUNT FOR MY ATV HANDLE BARS. UNFORTUNATELY,  I WILL HAVE TO FIND  MY
PAPER WORK TO FIND OUT WHO MADE IT.  IT WORKS GREAT .  IT EASY TO SEE AND EASY TO REMOVE.

BOTTOM LINE GET A GPS.  THE BACKTRACKING FEATURES WILL KEEP YOU FROM  EVER GETTING LOST.  

THIS IS JUST ONE UNIT THOUGH AND I’M SURE OTHER BRANDS ARE ALSO VERY GOOD.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANY ONE WHO HAS A GARMIN OR ANY OTHER BRAND,
LET’S TALK TECH.

MOUNTS FOR THE  GARMIN GPS 60 SERIES CAN BE PURCHASED FROM GARMIN.   (GARMIN.COM)   THE
HANDLE BAR MOUNT WORKS WELL.
