I got it open with google earth, too funny and still laughing...only if I am sure of what I am looking at. Flags are the spots?

If you're using google earth, the KML file might be better (that's Google Earths' native format). Each point is one of the check-in locations.

I DL the app but I don't see the flags.  When I touch, say Teeter Rock, it just shows an arrow on how to get there.  I'd like to see a map of the tags.  What am I not doing?  Thanks

In the app when viewing a stage, tap the three bars in the upper right corner of the screen for the context menu. From there, tap on the "Map" item about half way down the menu, which will pull up a map centered on your current location and a flag at the location of the stage you're looking at.

So if I am getting this correctly, where should we post about possible routes and groups?

Some very interesting points/flags to the south....lol I don't need a gps for most of them, and I got some short cuts ;)

I'd say post a thread in the ride planning forum.

Phil, I may be riding somewhere on pavement with Phyllis.  We will be in the Santa Fe Trail camp ground.  We will be there Thursday sometime.  Where are you staying?

Has anyone been to Crystal Springs.  It is the source of the 99% pure water that Florence, KS has. My Son has been there so it is on my Bucket List of places to see in the Flint Hills.

Just to be clear. I assume that teams will ride together (i.e. we won't send one rider north and another rider south).  Also, how close to the target do we have to be to check in and will we be able to check in if no cell service....  Does anyone know if Cassoday has gas again...???

Hey everyone! I'm planning on arriving in town Friday night around 7 PM.  I will likely find a tent spot around the lake Friday and Saturday nights.  I have my google maps loaded with the locations, but I'm new to GPS adventure navigation, so it would be great to get some tips from those of you with more experience with multi-destination routes.  Saturday I would like to join a group that will be leaving pavement so I can get the twin dirty.   :) Please message me if anyone knows of good spots for camping/congregating/having a cold one Friday night, otherwise I'll see you all Saturday!

I'll be arriving around 2;00 pm and we'll be staying at the Prairie Lodge.  If my wife wants to take a nap, I will be available to ride.  My cell is 785-260-3783.

I hope to be there by 2pm, have to run into town and meet a few of the CG people, then out to the camp site for a ride. I have a route to Box turtle rd, cause I have never been there. but we can do what ever anyone wants. I do not have a route for back from box turtle, so someone else can lead back.

Cassoday announced they had fuel again on Facebook  a month or so back so I assume they do Phil!

I'm so jealous! I will be in DC with the kids but really really want to be in the flint hills! Be safe guys and have a blast! Sorry I have to miss it.
There is absolutely no excuse for what I am about to do.
