River Trails

This adventure is released under an open source license. To roll your own you will need: 1. A GPS 2. A 770 Hacker Edition 3. A boat and a river 4. Good friends (and a good liver) Alternatively of course you can contact one of the guys at the end and they will roll a customized one just for you.

After the GPS enabled web applicationI created seemed to work in theory it arrived the time to test it in practice.

I decided to GPS mark all of the floating bars along the

Tarumã Açu (which is the first 'tributary' after leaving Manaus).

This is probably not so useful really as floating bars, well, float around the river basically but it is like most enjoyable things in life: good while it lasts.

I rounded up the usual suspects

prepared the technology

and off we set in Clives' amazing GPS

enabled boat, plotting bars

as we went.

We had an encounter along the way with a huge peacock bass

which are great sport fish and fight like ninja's when you hook one.
Memories are unfortunately somewhat hazy after this so here are the waypoints in text and gdb formats.

Maguires Guesthouse and Amazon Trekkers if you are up for it
