Myotis added the information he had to what I had.  The GPX file has been
updated and is available at:

Thanks Myotis.

Just follow the trail and not the track if it's leading you too close to the
water!!  Again, no guarantee on accuracy.

Thanks! Saved me the time to do it myself!  I am going to add it to my free
Garmin trail maps.

I talked to the brawny bear today at lunch.  Here is where things stand.

Mike is going to hike and GPS the trails next month.  Then I will be able to
add the correct trail locations to my trail map.

My transparent garmin topo map for Mark Twain Lake does not cover the entire
area.  So I am going to redo the map and make it cover the entire area.  So
those of you with an existing version of my maps, will need to change to the
new topo map once it is done.

I am going to make a combo map of the area that will have roads, topo lines,
hydrology, trails, and POIs all on the same map.  (If you have my maps look
at N38 59.469 W90 31.529 on "other maps" to see what it will be like.)  This
will be a much higher quality map than the 24K USGS topo maps.  While it
will be a Gramin MapSource Map, if you don't have MapSource, I will be able
to print the Map to PDF.  I am making the map for Mike and MOGA staff to use
in planning, but the maps will be available to anyone who wants it.

I will keep you updated on getting the maps.  The new trail map from your
GPX file will be done tonight and the topo for the entire area will be done
before the winter pot luck.  I will be at the pot luck with CDs or you can
bring your laptop to get them loaded or updated to the latest maps.
