Adding Red to the Map

I'm back home and working on the yard, after a lovely trip to the UP (well, except for the 90 degree heat and the black flies.....)

I will try to retro post a bit later this week.

Meanwhile, a cool new feature I found on the web--interactive maps where you can plot the states you've visited. My map is pretty impressive (even if a few of the states were merely driven through on the way from one place to another):

The world map needs a bit of work, though:
