I've posted many links here on Wander the West to our Travel blog -

 

 

Explorations with the Ski3pins

 

 

These blog posts have always been personal stories and photographs, not a hold your hand and show readers how to find places.

 

I have added a new page to the blog -

 

 

Geographic Locations

 

 

Here you can find links to our stories based on location. 

 

We hope you find this helpful. :)

Wow Ski that is some big project you started.

I guess it will give you something to do as we stay in place.

Thanks.

Geographic Locations

 

 

Here you can find links to our stories based on location. It is a work in progress. It currently includes our travels through 2015. I have 4.5 years of travel to still add. I'll keep you posted.

 

Also, please excuse the formatting. It changes every time I do an update. Maybe someday I'll figure it out, but I would much rather spend time out on an adventure. :)

Oh, and I thought your were posting GPS co-ords... both thrilled and terrified at the thought!   I love this listing... great for doing research on a given area!

That does sound like a lot of work. I'm assuming there will be certain spots that remain anonymous for good reasons.

That's really cool you are doing that! I think I've read all your trip reports and found quite a few of your unspecified locations on GE using your photos and info and Google. Hopefully you will keep some special spots secret!

 

I had just found your favorite Granite Mountains (Mono County) campsite, and planned to camp there, just before I read about it on your blog. It was obvious after seeing your photos.

 

I have a lot of fun researching and finding stuff like that, but maybe now I can learn some new spots that I never figured out!

 

Thanks for all the effort through so many years!

Yep-they are great planning documents too!  Thanks!  I wonder how much money I've spent over the years at PublicLands.Org and the USFS map  store.Gov. buying maps to trace your TR's?----keep it up!

So so many. Locations posted in stories where they really don't belong. Photos that never include back ground sky lines. :)

 

And the locations that are never written about.................
