Mountain Bike! - NJ

Here is a map with some mountain bike spots in NJ that I've spent a good deal of time playing around on. It's a short list to start, but the iddea behind this map is that it's sourced to an open spreadsheet that others can add onto as they find points of interest.

Poultney Gas Map - ArcGIS Online

Here is my "Poultney Gas Map," now hosted on ArcGIS online. It is interesting to see how the layers are different in this program than in Google Earth. I'm finding it to be a clean interface so far, so look forward to more maps of this style soon.

Etre Park Adventure

This map was created using a set of GPS points I gathered while exploring a park near my hometown.  Upon entering the coordinates I realized how important it is that Westerly coordinates be entered as (-)value.  When I first entered the coordinates my map showed up in Kyrgyzstan .  So two lessons came of this.  There is a country called Kyrgyzstan, and latitudes west of the prime meridean  are negative values.

In case the gadget below is giving you trouble (it seems to be finnicky on my computer) you can load the map by clicking here .

Images of Ketura


I created this map for an assignment involving embedding images and videos.  I haven't used much html since the days of Myspace - so this was a nice refresher in coding.  I decided to map out some points of interest on and around Kibbutz Ketura, in the Arava Desert of Israel.  I spent a semester studying Environmental Studies and Peace Building here.  There are many points of interest here with special meaning to me.
