This past weekend I got a chance to ride the bike trail and collect GPS points.  In the coming week I will insert the GPS points into ArcGIS and see how well the data looks.  If I feel I should redo collecting more points I will do so this weekend.  I will also continue to clean up the map since once the GPS points are in the only thing that remains is to make the map aesthetically pleasing and also able to show what I am trying to present as clearly as possible.

Today I brought in some of the layers I will use including lakes, streets, counties, and town lines.  I will continue to neaten the map up and place the labels more appropriately.  I will also define the road types and label the important ones and the ones the trail will pass by.  I no longer think a second map with an aerial basemap is necessary, this seems like it will get the point across enough.  I will hope to map the trail within the next week or two while continuing to clean up the draft.
