As much as I don't like the site's aesthetics, I have to agree with the above. And I sometimes use the site for planning purposes like you do.


Just yesterday I searched CGOB journals for an obscure area in MT that I am planning to ride through in June. I had what I thought was my route all planned out and was looking for any descriptions regarding road conditions, etc. What I found instead was a page from a 2016 journal that described what looks like an amazing, alternative route between two places I had already planned to pass through, complete with a map that allowed me to map the route myself on RWGPS. As a result, I am in the process of changing my plans to include this new-found route as an alternative to what I had originally planned. To me, more options=better.
