Let's Map Central City... Indoors, from Denver!

Jan 13, 2013 · 11:00 AM
Black Eye Coffee Shop

As much as I'd love to map Central City, it apparently is going to be far too cold for outdoor activities. We're going to move the mapping to a coffee shop in Highlands.

We can still map Central City, just remotely.

I still have a presentation on mapping, and I may need to create some new walking papers if the weather's slightly tolerable.

Sorry about the last minute reschedule, we'd rather everyone enjoy themselves than fight off frostbite!

We will still be meeting at the RTD stop at 10 so anyone planning on meeting there isn't lost and confused.

---------------------------------- (old info) ------------------------

Let's hope the weather is nice for a change and we can get up there and map! Central City has a lot of buildings missing[1], and we can get started on addressing as well. We may also want to change the road type of Virginia Canyon Road[2], so people don't attempt it without knowing its true condition.

Since a lot of us are coming from Denver, we may want to meet in Denver and drive less cars up to Central City.
So, we will be here waiting for people who don't want to drive up:
10:00am Sunday January 13, 2013
RTD Park-n-Ride
I-25 / Broadway Station
901 S Broadway

Pizza, Beer, and Gambling! I have confirmed a location with free wifi for our meetup:
Dostal Alley - http://www.dostalalley.net/Site/Home.html

If there's anyone under 21 hoping to attend, let me know so we can work with the location.

RTD Park-n-Ride
I-25 / Broadway Station

Also, dress for cold weather:

If you're into football, there are TVs at Dostal Alley where you can watch and enjoy beers brewed right in Central City!

I'll be bringing two GPS units, some walking papers[1], a camera, and I will try to make a short presentation on tagging.

See you there!

I'm just wondering what I should bring. A computer with Arc, a GPS? Haven't done the OSM thing before.

  A laptop would be the most useful. A tablet with flash would also work. If you have a gps it could help as well! We'll be using mapping papers and potlatch2 to add points.
