Thanks Richard. I installed qgis and opened the original shapefile. No
connecting lines at all when I view it in qgis. Qgis had an export
function that allowed me to do the conversion from the NAD83 UTM to
the WGS84 LatLong shapefile format, but when I try to display that
converted file in Xastir I still get the connecting line segments. I
can open it back up in qgis and it still looks fine (no connecting
lines).

I'm not sure what I might need to edit or clean up, but there's 1200+
trails in this file so hopefully it can be automated!

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
