DVOA,

I am the course designer at Mount Penn Antietam in November this year.  One thing I am hoping to accomplish is adding the new well-defined "permanent" trails by the Lake (some are even on the Park map but not the O map).  There are several connector trails that are distinct and add greatly to course designs.  I've been in contact with a few club members and the verdict is that no professional mapping will take place this year at MP. 

I just bought a Forerunner 310XT (tested it at MP yesterday) which should give me a good start with GPX files of the trails, but I am looking for someone genuinely interested in helping me with this process that has experience with OCAD/using GPS units/field checking/etc.  At the very least I would like to add 2-3 of the trails between Rotary Park and Antietam Lake for the November event and print off a "temporary map" for the event.  

Send me an email at erikreddy@gmail.com or catch me at a local event if you are interested.  I'll be at Warwick and Crow's Nest.

Thanks,
Erik

Not specific to Mt Penn/Antietam, but if anyone is interested, I am willing to check the result of any GPS plotted trails on any O-map.
