I have also created an annotated map of our travels. It details our route, our modes of transportation (mostly bicycle), our campsites, our hosts, our trek, and more. With each marker placed and route drawn there is a little bit of information about that part of the adventure. This may help you better visualize our journey. Enjoy!
This is a static image of the map. If you follow the link below, you can interact with it and check out the annotations.
