installing Java 3D viewer for MAC-OSX

Setting up RAPPLS laser file processing for MAC

Looks like you need to get Java3D from (1.5.2 seems to be built for mac-osx),

https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html

http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javadesktop/Java3DInstallation

Not sure if you need this also,

http://kenai.com/projects/jogl/pages/Home

so on,

http://www.petejansen.org/software/

is RAPPLS.tar.gz

If you get the chance, then un-tar it into a directory and as before run something like,

RAPPLS.sh viewer.las

Ulaan Baatar

Arrived in Ulaan Baatar last night after a 115 km day.

14 September, 64km, Finished off into a head wind and heavy rain, decided that a hotel would be nice to have a wash and keep dry for the night, although we found that the hot water was off in the city and so there was no hot water for a shower.

15 September, 64km, hoping for a tail wind, the weather has changed to blue skies and sun shine and a head wind.

16 September, 60km, Very cold start into head wind again, stopped by road to camp into almost ideal conditions though. Grass, no wind, very nice. The weather changed over night being hit by strong wind change, now its blowing the correct direction…

17 September, 115 km, into Ulaan Baatar, close enough to make it in one day with a tail wind and smooth road. Arrived Ulaan Baatar at about 4.30 pm.

Looking into coming home early, but looks like its all booked out, so what to do in Mongolia for two weeks…..

We have added some pictures from the trip to the blog.
