Hi all,
I'm trying to tag known fishing places on a map and I'm having a hard time finding Potter's Ponds. Anyone have directions or GPS coordinates.
thank you

Awesome, thanks for the coordinates. I'm dumping all this info into Google Earth. I have about 50 places marked already and will have lots more when I'm done. When possible, I'm marking specific places such as bays or harbors in the different lakes/reservoirs. I can export those out and will post in here for those who are interested.

I have put together a similar type map on my website. You might be interested in it:

Click on a marker for a popup thumbnail image of the lake/river/pond and a link to the page that talks about it.

I did see that....I visit your site frequently. What I like about putting them in Google Earth is being able to click on a marker and getting driving directions to the place from anywhere I choose. I can show roads and other features that can help me plan a trip. I was actually wanting to talk to you about using some of the info on your site to populate into the markers. Info such as species at the body of water, fishing tips, etc. We should talk some more, there are pros/cons for you. I'll PM you.

I believe it is a dirt road. My dad visited it last summer in his little 2wd nissan pickup. He said lots of little trout jumping there. I doubt it is accessible now except by way of snowmobile. Probably iced over and covered with a foot or two of snow too.

yeah, with an elevation of nearly 9K feet I'm sure it's burried. Probably make a fun place for camping out for a few days in the summer though.
