My Route

I plan to walk through: Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York!

As Blog Support has set precedent, I will set all words that are not Sam's in italics. I will be keeping the map updated as Sam sends me his coordinates. The more he sends the more detail we get.

"Why couldn't this get updated in a timely manner?" you ask. "You have been slacking Map Wizard!" you say. And you would be right. The only goodies I offer as recompense to return to your good graces are, of course, stats.

To reflect Sam's new hiking compatriot, a new layer has found its way onto the map. The color, purple, was specifically requested by Sam himself. Good luck you two.

Control over the over-sized legend is minimal. Clicking the strange symbol in the top right of the map will make it full screen and more enjoyable for viewing.

v2.02
Due to highway 166 cell conditions, coordinates had been scarce. But, methods have been adjusted, formats improved and Sam's location should run more smoothly now. Please leave any map feedback in the comments section.

v2.01
Progress marches south and east. He's put on his big boy boots and is smoking across 166. The Nov. 12th entry is his campsite for the night.
