Indeed, the Garmin, trail GPS receivers are practically indestructible. My eTrex Legend HcX has taken a lot of punishment, and it is still performing superbly.

I really like the Garmin GPS receivers for off road riding; these units are very rugged.
![]() In the past the only downside to the Garmin GPS units was the high cost of topographic maps. However, since so many people use the Garmin units for adventure/trail riding, many free maps are now available for download. ![]() ![]() http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/ Even if you don't have a Garmin GPS receiver, you can still download Garmin Mapsource, or Garmin Basecamp for free, and use the free maps to plan your next ride/adventure on your computer. ![]() http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...ls.jsp?id=4435 http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...ils.jsp?id=209 If you install Google Earth on your computer, it will integrate with the Mapsource/Basecamp software, and show your tracks/routes superimposed on the satellite images. ![]() ![]()

Winter is a good time to plan trips, and prepare GPS tracks/routes. It's also a good time to study, and acquire new equipment.

Who knows how long the port delays will last. Perhaps the bikes won't be available until June.

Those are great tents Spud. You'll enjoy it's easy setup and take down. I have the 2-up. Had since 2011 Grand Canyon trip. Bigger then I need but it is nice to be able to bring all your gear inside once you set up camp at an area you'll spend a few days in. I can leave the panniers off the bike in there and still have room for my cot and chair. Looks like this one:

Not a good close up but you get the idea as you can see GPS behind the windscreen. This was taken at the Sound Rider Rally in Hood River Fairgrounds last August a few hours before going on my first ambulance ride and ICU over nighter for a kidney stone. Scratch that off the ol' bucket list

![]() ![]() I bought the smaller tent because I don't plan to spend extended periods of time camping in the same spot, and I wanted to minimize the pack size, weight, and cost of the tent. ![]()

The Zongshen RX3 is listed in the NADA guide for motorcycles. The bike is found under CSC motorcycles, listed as the RX3 Cyclone.

I'm purchasing this bike for my S America expedition in 2016, I'm in no hurry to get it. I'll probably leave the bike in S America after my trip. The price of this bike makes it very easy to abandon. To replace it is cheaper than shipping it back in many cases.
