Olympic and Yosemite maps are live

Yosemite National Park map thumbnailI’ve got another couple pages completed: Olympic maps and Yosemite maps. I guess “completed”  is the wrong word, as I plan to keep adding new maps as I come across them. There actually are some ollllllld Olympic trail maps I came across; they’re not pretty, but might not be a bad addition. At this point, however, I’m choosing quality over quantity. After all, I’ve got a lot more national park maps to upload! If I keep up my one-page-per-day pace…. then, well, I’ll be busy through Thanksgiving just doing the sites designated as national parks.

Then you add in the NPS-managed national monuments, national recreation areas, national seashores and lakeshores… Oh. I’m going to be a busy man. What have I gotten myself into?

New map updates

So far, I’ve got four parks pretty much finished: Acadia, Arches, Death Valley, and Hawaii Volcanoes.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park map thumbnailThose Hawaii Volcanoes maps are beautiful. It’s nice to see that this is the direction the new maps are going. The Haleakala ones are even more amazing looking… I just haven’t gotten to uploading those maps yet. Soon!

The Acadia page seems to be mostly complete, thanks to the decent number of maps available. Same with Death Valley.

It’ll be interesting to see as this goes on – whether I’m able to find lots of maps for all the parks, or whether a number of them will end up pretty short like the Arches page currently is. I’d like to have more than just the two maps like Arches, but I know for some parks that’s  just not going to be an option.
