list of places mccandless traveled to in order?

Postby ohhenrygirl » Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:55 am

i'm doing a project on chris mccandless, and i need to make a map of all the places he's traveled too and the order he traveled them in. i know theres a map in the first page of the book, but it doesnt give me the exact order he's traveled them in :(. i checked google and books..ive looked everywhere. does anyone have the exact order? or a website where i can retrieve it? thank you all so much!

Sounds interesting. Even though "all" his stops won't be shown, as nobody really knows the exact route for some periods of his journey.

Apologies for the error. The file contains Places and Dates known to the general public via The Book and The Movie.

a quick google search will provide you with more than enough map images and google earth .kmz files.

Can't remember the original site offhand, but if I can find the time i will upload the file myself.

You just need to save the kml out of Google Earth?

Just right click the path or folder, or whatever it is, inside of the My Places block on the left hand side of the screen and click "Save Place As"
If it's multiple paths or pinpoints, you can make a folder, put them all in that, do the same thing and it will save as one .kmz

If you already knew that I wasn't trying to be condescending or anything. Just trying to help.
