Awesome :)* That's just the kind of thing I'm shooting for -
that "getting lost" and trying to find your way home feeling.
Plus, using something practical, like greyhound, it could be
useful, because you can always get somewhat CLOSE to home with
greyhound where someone can pick you up, and tickets I think are
still under $100... which isn't cheap in general but afaik,
still the cheapest way to get from A to B. I used to visit
Internet friends on Greyhound as a teenager.* I got to see some
REALLY small towns in some strange places. Reckless?* Probably,
but I had a return ticket ready before I left home 'cause I was
always afraid I'd get stuck somewhere and not know how to get
home, so being prepared was the answer. :P That's awesome that
you did that with Google Maps - they should make a game out of
it; I mean, they have the data, why not make it fun?
