This is the tool I use: www.finishlineusa.com/products/chain-cleaner.htmworks great and is ~$25 at Academy Sports. Used the degreaser and lube that came with it until I ran out, then went to a local bike shop and bought what they recommended for lube/degreaser

Here's one that should get a response or two. EdgeE knows exactly where this spot is. looks kinda like the rock garden at mistletoe, photographer looking clockwise, but the tread looks wider than I remember mistletoe being....

hopefully I'll be able to make it, but not for sure yet. Hopefully it'll get rained out so I can definitely make it at a later date

I ain't gonna lie dude: That's a smoking deal. That would make a great spare for a dust-gatherer for that "buddy that might show up". Additionally, I have several friends at work that always claim to want a "real mtb". They will get this link in their email box tomorrow. This blows away anything that Dick's or Academy Sports offers. MD +1 that's the bike that got me into mountain biking, and it's the bike (minus any upgrades) that I'm still riding Really great bike at a good deal, especially for a beginner.

Thought that would be too easy New Bartram, at the water works road crossing. The road is an access road to the intake for the Clarks Hill Water Treatment Plant on Hwy. 221

I'll take a stab.....
The only place I've ridden that has anything armor that looks like this is Great Wall, about halfway through, but I thought the trees were bigger than in the above picture...

Can the area's maps be combined so that one map it is able to be scrolled to see relative distance between different riding areas? That way someone unfamiliar with all the different areas could get a "big picture". These are .kml files, right? If so, open them in GoogleEarth (rather than Google Maps--look above the map) and they'll automatically import into your Temporary Places. Right click-->save as will put them into your My Places. Then you can view them all at the same time. Haven't tried this, but it should work. Or when you open to GoogleEarth you also have the save as option, which will let you save the .kml files directly to your drive. Then you can open into GoogleEarth from there. Yes, opening all wanted files in Google Earth would allow you to see all information at once (tracks and placemarks). Just download all files and zoom out.

yes, I looked at labeling each road, (as well as parking areas, etc. for trails) but ran into the clutter problem myself. After fiddling with Google Earth for a few hours, I made no progress towards solving this problem and gave up. I definitely think some people may find a map of the FS roads useful, but what I currently have may need some polishing up to make it somewhat easier to use with labels and such. I'll send it as soon as I get a chance.

thanks for the clarification dsquared. Havn't ridden Modoc yet, but I'm going to try to make it out that way in the next week or two.
