Hops To Maine

Filed under: Big Adventure — John @ 21:16

The white line is an approximation of our track from Santa Barbara to Bar Harbor, ME. The red dots are airports. From Prescott we went toward Chaco Cyn before turning direct to Santa Fe even though that leg shows as a straight line, and of course there were plenty of other places where we wandered to look at stuff that caught our fancy. I did include the major detours to look at Pittsburgh and the Fall colors in northern New Hampshire.

Partial Return Track

Filed under: Big Adventure — John @ 09:31

Above is a track from the GPS that shows part of our return path from MS to CA. Unfortunately, most of the trip was lost due to the GPS only holding the most recent portion and deleting the rest. Had I but remembered this “feature” it would have been easy to create a new track every day or two and have the whole trip. I’d planned to use the GPS track for figuring out where each photo was taken, but that’s not going to happen. Instead we just have our fading memory of where each place was. I can figure out some stuff based on written records and the time stamps on our photos. sigh…

Airports Visited

Here are the places we landed after leaving Santa Barbara, in sequence. First is the airport code, for example SBA, then the airport name, Santa Barbara in this example. In cases where the city name isn’t clear from the airport name, like Love in Prescott, I’ve added the city name in parentheses. As you might guess, we chose some airports just for their fun names such as Las Vegas in New Mexico.
