Does anyone know how to export a goggle earth flyby movie? Here is an example of what I would like to do (large file).

I would love to be able to fly along my GPS tracks at a set elevation, and make a movie.

thanks, I also think it is really cool. I do that for every hike I do.

Yeah, I am really pissed. I was ignoring the yucca thorn in hopes it would work it way out, but during my warmup hike it got really sore and swollen. It was starting to get infected. I finally got it out today, had to soak the area is salt water and dug it out with a pin and tweezers. If I wasn't ab...

I did not know about the Mount Baldy event until I read Augie's excellent Trip Report: http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/3 ... e-Top.html.

Are there any other event like this in the San Gabriel Mnts? I would like to post such events here.

You need to have the photo you want uploaded somewhere online, and enter the address in the space that you see when you click profile. However, the image needs to be 120 x 120 pixel in size and 8 kb large. If you want me to edit your image and put it online for you I can, just e-mail me the photo yo...

Awesome pictures, the clouds were amazing. I had never quite seen clouds like that, the black, whifty ones combined with the lenticular like ones,

thanks for adding,

Travis

I am also not sure what GMR stands for, the best I could come up with is:

Thank you very much Christina, I am actually looking at running the software for this discussion at my own website, but it may take some time. I am not overly bothered by the adds either,

I've noticed that Google Earth won't display all tracks or paths simultaneously. Is this correct? One has to deselect others until the track or path you want to view appears? :?: I have not had this problem, can you give me an example of when you would have multiple tracks open so I can try? I almo...

Say, that is Ontario Peak in your mugshot, admin, right?

Yes, that is Ontario. Nice little summit block.

Hi, all. Thanks for setting up the forum. I plan to visit it often. How about a sticky post with links to websites that users might find helpful: like Steve Larson's overview of San Gabriels on SP, other local climbing/hiking sites (mtsanjacinto.info, ODC, sgwa.org, etc.). sounds like a good idea t...

I know it is a little late to post this, but a couple of us are hiking from Islip Saddle tomorrow, Sept. 28th with plan to ascend Mount Islip, Hawkins and Copter Ridge. We will be meeting at the La Canada carpool location (just north of the 210 on the ACH) at 6:00 am. If you want to join us, e-mail ...

Yeah, for sure. Meet us at Icehouse Canyon at 5 am Sat. Sept. 29th. Anyone...

cool, thanks for adding these,

I can't wait to join you on some of these trips, I am fairly new to winter activities. Please make sure to keep us informed when you are planning to go (obviously, after some snow).

Can we delete the "Ads by Google" thing that appears to be appending itself to postings?

thanks! The adds are part of the free service, they only append themselves to the bottom of the latest post. I may upgrade at some point and pay for them to go away,

I have many field guides on the trees and plants of the San Gabriel Mountains. I enjoy identifying plant, just post the image and I will do my best to identify,

After a bit of a reality check on Sunday, I have decided that I personally am not going to go for all 13 peaks. I am going to drop Pine and Dawson and start 1 hour later at 5 pm. Of course any of you can attempt the original 13, this hike is totally open to do what you please. So the plans are to me...

I was always told to set my goals high, therefore I have a 13 peak loop planned for Sept. 29th in the Mount Baldy Area. I am adding Pine and Dawson to the previously done 11 peak loop. Anyone is welcome to join us on this ambitious attempt. http://www.outdoorsclub.org/Calendar/Pr ... =9/29/2007 I am...

I went out anf finally hiked this 3 peak loop that I have been wanting to for some time on Sunday, Sept. 23rd. The weather was perfect, sunny yet cool with some light clouds. Everything smelled so fresh and the air so clear. I really enjoyed the hike, we started at mile marker 4.5 on Tujunga Canyon ...
