The Map

This is to give you an idea about the scope of "the trip". The video shows the original map that documents every trip and every route that was taken since the trip started 42 years ago.

Note that this video was taken in 2000, and there have been nine more trips taken since, only adding to the already confusing mess of scribbles and notes.

The Map is a careful reflection of every road Dad has taken since we began these adventures many years ago. As you can see the map has the physical quality of the Dead Sea Scrolls and has been maintained by my dad through meticulous patching and stitching with Scotch tape. Each year is a color coded scribble over the highway taken, which over time has become pointless since many roads overlap and the sheer number of trips has limited the color choices. I tend to look at the map as a whole, taking it in as one big experience looking at the space covered compared to what is left to be conquered.
