I get Jason Rehmus’ RSS feed in my Google Reader. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure who he is or why his feed is in my reader, but it’s proven interesting enough to remain there for some time now. He posted a map of places he’s been. I love maps. So I made one, too. With a key, indicating how long I’ve stayed in those places.

Aside from a quick jaunt to Boston one day, I’ve never managed to make it up to New England. Funny, as that’s the one place I probably most often talk about traveling to. Also, Delaware is going to be a hard one. If I’m back East, I usually want to travel West. If I ever go to New England, I can’t imagine Delaware will be on the way. Tough break, DE, but hey, you’ll always be the first state!

Nice map!

I never thought to color code it based on length of time. That certainly helps for the states I’ve only driven through. I’ll have to update mine now.

You probably found my site after I left comments on some other vagabonding style blogs of yours. Thanks for subscribing.

Here’s a new effort of mine that’s just getting started:

Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

I started checking that site out yesterday, Jason. Interesting stuff, I’ll RSS it for sure. Couldn’t figure out how to leave a comment, though…specifically on your post about paper maps vs. digital.

Digital will never replace paper, because there will always be adventurers who want to find their own way – when a computer tells you where to go, how to get there, and all of the rough details along the way, you might as well just skip the trip altogether and read about the place on wikipedia. If there’s any truth at all to “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey” then why put the journey in the hands of robots?
