| bubo: | And then I spent a while trying to figure out how to combine the two into one image. Totally without success. :-(
How about this? Not perfect - but the Retreat farm and the Ice Pond line up pretty well and so do a few other things - at least it gives you the general idea... |

| PG: | Excellent! So what did you do? |

| jjcote: | I think I got the alignment a little better:
I brought the topo into 0CAD as a template, then brought the trail map in as a second template and made it transparent. I aligned on three points (road junction, road end, pond end), and dimmed the topo to 50% since the colors were so much brighter. |

| PG: | That's pretty clever. Just what i was trying to do in Photoshop, but my skills there are very limited. |

| bubo: | I tried the OCAD thing too, but my skills are a bit rusty so I decided to leave it for now...
I did my thing in Paint Shop Pro - basically doing the same as jjcote - but it was a very quick job so I didnīt put all my effort into it. |

| jjcote: | 0CAD is basically the only software I know how to use. I do everything with it. |

| Boojums: | Have you ever made wedding invitations? |

| jjcote: | Not yet, but I could. I'm in the gap where my friends stopped getting married (mostly before 0CAD came along), and their kids haven't started yet. I've done a lot of calendars though. |

| JanetT: | I used OCAD once to make curved text (a spiral, I think). SO much easier to figure out than Word. :-D |

| walk: | "Have you ever made wedding invitations?"
What kind of announcement is this? |

| Boojums: | What kind of announcement is this?
I'm just curious! Though I must admit that if I ever were to marry, having my invitations made in OCAD seems most appropriate. |

| Wyatt: | So to get the trails that good, do you think someone ran/walked them with GPS? |
| # Posted 2008-05-15 07:03:48 | |
| PG: | For sure. Or at least I'd say it's much more likely than the guy was a good old-fashioned mapper (pace, compass, feel).
The area has quite a few hemlocks, so the aerial photos aren't any help for most of the trails. I assume the GPS still works under them, though I've never used one. |
