Yes that is a common problem. Since I have GPSed so many trails for my
Garmin maps, I have run into bad mileages many times. Some parks will have
the mileages right on, some will be pretty close, and others will not even
be in the ball park. I did one today at Rockwoods Reservation that they
said was 2 miles. I got 1.91 (but the location they have on their map was
way off. I think the problem is lots of the mileages and trail locations
were done pre good quality GPSs. Many of these locations were just drawn by
hand and when you think of it, some of these people, did an amazingly
accurate job. You have to come home and clean up the track to get an
accurate distance.
The quality of the garmin maps I make really shine in this area. I've got
everything GPSed in the area.
Perhaps those walking could shuttle vehicles so they only have to walk one
way. Or those of us with bikes can shuttle them.

I'm going by what I was told at the office, plus what I have seen in
writing, which is 8 or 9 miles. I'm not getting into who caches with who, on
what and where to. I think most are grown and can figure things out for
them selves. Just like I would NEVER tell a cacher on what route he/she has
to take to get to a cache and if he/she takes a different route, the log
would be deleted. Bernie

From my GPS tracks that I used to make my trail map of the area, I have it
6.5 miles from one end of the cluster to the other.
Would Bikers and hikers be a good way to split up the group?

Bridget, we will have some of each, but it is about a 16 to 18 mile hike.
Make sure you wear comfortable boots. Bernie

Do I need a bike or is there going to be people hiking? Originally, this
said biking/hiking. Just wondering.
