King's Mountain Hike (Oregon)




This was yet another hike with our hiking club during weekday after the job. Trail can be very steep at some points. But the view at the summit deserves that struggle. Definitely lovely view from the top. Descending is way more difficult than ascending. So caution should be practiced.

Sony GPS-CS3 Geo-tagging Performance in Wilson River Trail, Oregon



Last week, I had the chance to go for a short hiking trip on the Tillamook region of Oregon. Specifically, we aimed for the Wilson River Trail. The track was rather narrow so while going back and forth we passed from the same route with a great probability. However, as can be seen in the above snapshots, the geotags for the round trip do not overlap to each other. We can easily see two distinct routes for forward and backward directions. This is kind of disappointing for the performance of the GPS as at some points 5 meters of deviations exist.
