[Talk-ca] Bad upload in Pembroke Ontario

[Sam Vekemans]

Cool, when do you plan on leaving?
I can create contour maps & prepare ibycus topo for the missing features.

As you know, the purpose of the Across Canada Trails project is to
help cyclists (mountain, touring, trekking, motercycle, harley,
hiking)

Cheers,
Sam
