The gpx file appear to be more of an open xml type file and won't load into google earth.

Thanks for posting this. Might have to make this run in a couple weeks when the temps drop.

You can convert the GPX file here to a KML for Google Earth by feeding it into the convertor at http://gpx2kml.com/ and then downloading the resulting KML. The GPX is fine to import into a GPS or GPS app (like Gaia / Offline Topo, etc).
