I’ve noticed that all the cool kids are adding Google maps mash-ups of their outings — an option available to them because they aren’t otherwise busy keeping their neighbors apprised of all the nifty nearby hiking opportunities five days a week like some (well, me) of the more unhinged inhabitants of the blogosphere. Dylan Kuhn, AKA Cyberhobo, built a WordPress plug-in enabling this mischief. I was in the clear till I switched to WordPress a few months back. Now I’m out of excuses, save one: mapping everyplace I’ve hiked in the past three years would take another three years, because the plug-in works by adding a location to each post, which means editing each post and entering the location data manually. Count every weekend going back to the summer of 2004 and you can see how this adds up.

This link shows what I have so far.

If you’ll excuse me now, I have some mapping to do.
