If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

My GPS put the Track Shack on the wrong side of Louetta. If you get there and there are no bikes, try the other side of the overpass.  :looney:

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

If the GPS coordinates that Brock has provided are the ones that I came up with, they are right.  The location that is shown by Mapquest or by Google Maps for Track Shack's street address is wrong, and the Garmin GPS units are programmed with the same street address mapping data that Mapquest and Google Maps use.  Unfortunately, the street address mapping data that Mapquest and Google Maps use can be off by quite a bit because, in many cases, the address locations are just estimates.  The coordinates that I came up with were actually measured at the Track Shack using my Garmin nuvi, and on the one occasion that I have returned there since taking the measurement, the GPS lead me back there without any problem.  Hope this helps.

All of you GPS aficionados need to be aware that there are 99 different sets of datum for GPS. Not all units will put the same coordinates in the same location; it all depends on which datum your brand GPS uses.
