Day 1 Route All In One (9h 269mi)

We met in Roseville Downtown, listened to Scott, took some group photos, then took off. I screwed up my navigation and failed to follow Scott's track while having Google Maps in use-highways mode. Then I screwed around trying to get onto Scott's track using GPXViewer. Eventually I got there, and arrived in Lock after everyone else, even though I started first. Also, my GPXRecorder app on my phone stopped recording for most of the morning and the Columbus stopped for about 40 minutes in the morning. So there's a gap in the Track Log of about 40 minutes right when I was screwing up. Oh well, I'll watch both recorders more carefully tomorrow.

Dinner was at Taqueria Jalapenos, vegetarian burrito and a Jamica
