[RC] GPS Skywriting - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

OK, I have a new idea to liven up field riding. After a few circles around a 
field today Josie said, "We should do figure 8's, we have room, just to switch 
things up."  I said, "Hey, I'm going to download this track, try to write you 
name in the field!" Well, she made it through a big cursive "J" before she lost 
her place and the horse was getting frustrated with her. I'm going to try it on 
my own next time. If any of you can pull it off please post your track and let 
me see it. When I view her "J" on motionbased map it's very jagged, but if you 
click Google Earth it's not bad. Ya gotta look for it in the middle of all the 
loops and figure 8's:

P.S. I'm riding with a friend who has a GPS and mine is consistantly 
shortchanging me on mileage...mine seems to simplify tracks taking shortcuts. 
Yesterday hers gave her 8.2 and mine was 7.8 on the odometer and dropped to 7.5 
on a track log. I *know* her horse didn't shy that many more times than mine!
