Mapping is done! Overall, it took me about five full days. I write everything on bristol paper cards about 10x6 inches that I'll put in the tank bag map pouch. The roads numbers, the nearest destination and the distance. The map is only a back-up and with the GPS (an Emap) I am pretty much set. It's a system I have been relying on for several years and it works beautifully. I'll use mostly backroads and can't rely on road signs.
The overall trip is about 9,500 miles, that's 15,000 kilometers. Over 30 days, that makes an average of about 315 miles (500 km) per day. That should be ok. Oh, and by the way, that's me...
