12/5/2005 - 200,000 down, 13,500,000 to go

A sense of accomplishment -- I finished plotting my route today. I go through 12 states, 2 provinces, 1 territory and 1 commonwealth; all in all, 184 city like things ranging from Detroit to One Hundred Mile House. All in all, over 6500 miles, almost 14,000,000 steps. And I have taken about 250,000 so far.

The walk from here to Seattle is actually looking quite pleasant with towns to pass through and things to see. From Vancouver, it gets tough. I had to plot out 3 different routes until I could find anything resembling a city-filled route from British Columbia to Alaska. There's just too much barren wasteland out there. And even then, I have nearly 1400 miles of fairly empty land to cover.

I guess if I have the attention span to keep this thing going for the first 4000 miles, I can figure out what to do from there...

13,100 contemplative steps. Cheers,
