Mapping Where I've been

View Discovery2009 in a larger map
Shown above is an interactive Google Map with a route showing the stops I've made on my 2009 cross country road trip. To keep things simple, Google's chosen the route between places -- my actual route involves a lot more miles and a lot more back roads exploration.

Google's route estimates about four thousand miles but my calculations put me at about 5507 at this point.

The Honda Fit has been a great little horse to ride. When I look at my car I worry that I have too much stuff and therefore too much weight. I aim to be a free bird traveling light and easy but my "be prepared" attitude of having lots of stuff gets in the way.

Learning to do without and accept the consequences -- good and bad -- is another part of my journey.

What's next? I'll decide next week. Maybe the Arizona desert to the Grand Canyon for a change of scene or north, deeper into the Colorado Rockies.

It could be the flip of a coin that decides.

Side note: I have a few blog entries to upload to get current and I'm about ten days behind schedule, so if you've been following along, expect to see a few more entries in on Sunday explaining those missing days.
