I got another set of files from my government buddy... I was missing one of
the shapefile sets for the 32k ski route.
 
I got a .prj file with this set, so I got excited! However, it doesn't seem
to help me much in Arcview. Still the same weird numbers as I point around
the screen.
 
GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",
DATUM["D_North_American_1983",
SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]
 
But now, I am buoyed by the fact that I just found someone on the internet
asking about the exact same data. Perhaps I might not be so far off in left
field!
 
I'm off to try and figure out how to make this stuff work! Another 4 to 6
hours of pounding my head against the walls! Sometimes I get more out of it
than big ol' bruises!
 
BTW, the Canadian Birkebeiner Ski Festival is February 11, 2005. HYPERLINK
