There’s a certain comfort in reliving this past summer’s cross-country bicycle trip from the everyday comforts of home. Sitting indoors on a comfortable cushioned chair, protected from the cold and demoralizing rain, I can now relive each step of the Coast to Coast for Hope 2007 Trip by a click of the mouse and the scroll of an interactive map.

It is tough to remember exactly where each picture was taken, let alone pinpoint each picture to a specific location on a map that is viewed overhead and taken from a satellite! If you don’t believe me, try an locate highway WW in Missouri - a lonely dirt road in the maze of the Ozark Mountain range.

Still, we continue to improve our progress and upload as many pictures as we can onto our flickr.com interactive map. Each picture is pinpointed to, or as close to, their actual location to give the viewer a better grasp of what we saw, who we met and what we accomplished during our 2007 cross-country bicycle ride.

The last stop for this section of the journey is West Yellowstone Montana. Next stop, the Oregon coast!
