No Video...But Watch Out Up The Road!

I wanted to attach or at least link a video record of a sample traverse done on the Utah/Colorado border where U.S. Highway 40 crosses. But I haven't yet figured out the how-to so I'll just post some narrative about it. I did this traverse in May of 2008 traveling from north to south on the following waypoints moving from start to finish of the traverse:

N40 16.385 W109 03.052
N40 15.978 W109 03.056
N40 15.736 W109 03.059
N40 15.596 W109 03.056

I was able to set the second waypoint directly on a USGS Survey Cap.

The video I made was a pretty horrible first effort. It could have been tightened up with a voice-over narrative but I wanted to present a sample as close to the actual video filming as possible. I did do minor edits but it was still long and rambling. Probably better to chalk it up to a learning experience.
