* Webmaster Note
I used an older version of
National Geographic Interactive Trip Planner Deluxe ®
to make these maps and calculate distances. This program was designed to plan out driving trips, and not walking odysseys, so the calculations are just as close as I could get with the tools available.
I have tried to make it as accurate as I could with what I used.
I did try to put in places that he names throughout his story as best as I could, but some places I had to put in to calculate the distance, as he'd take a different road or no road. So distances between deserted areas, I used a straight line tool to calculate them. And, of course, I had no way of calculating going up and down mountains.
There just would not be anyway to be accurate, unless someone made the exact same trip wearing an odometer.
Please keep that in mind when viewing the maps and distances. If anything, I'm sure the total is under the miles he 'walked' and not over. Yes, some places he did take short rides also, but these too, were part of his odyssey. I've done the best I could. Please forgive me for not being more accurate.
Thank You,
Webmaster
