The weather could not have been better and I've come to the stark realization that my physical conditioning is in need of improvement. That's ok though because there are roughly 53 more Colorado 14ers out there waiting to be climbed. This is my 4th ascent of Torrey. As soon as I am complete with the next version of the Picasa Module I'm going to create a subdomain specifically for trip reports.</p> <p><a href="http://kevinbridges.org/node/95">read more</a></p> http://kevinbridges.org/node/95#comments 14er Colorado Hiking Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:58:48 -0500 Kevin 95 at http://kevinbridges.org http://kevinbridges.org/hikes/MountGalbraith <p>Here's a trip report for Mount Galbraith. I've been playing with some of the Google API's and think I've automated the translation of data from the gps and camera directly to the web. Galbraith is a very easy trail that is decent for warming up to larger items like the 14ers we will be documenting. Make sure to <a href="http://www.kevinbridges.org/hikes/MountGalbraith">read the full blog posting</a> and not just the summary to see the maps and satellite imagery.</p> <p>I'm not going to write very much about this particular trail because the main focus has been integrating the different technologies into a seamless platform deliverable by this blog. The general concept is to be able to stop and take a picture that translates into the map below complete with gps coordinates and clickable pictures. It has to be totally automated for when we start doing the 14ers again. I'll upload the raw gps information soon as well.</p> <p>If you'd like to view this complete with a waypoint selector <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;q=http://www.kevinbridges.org/files/MountGalbraith.kml&amp;layer=&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=15&amp;ll=39.767678,-105.253787&amp;spn=0.014118,0.040169&amp;t=h&amp;om=1">Click Here</a>.
