This presentation on Google Earth of Chris McCandless’s journey throughout North America helped me in following him from one place to another. While reading the story it was a little hard keeping track of just where Chris was and where he was going. This also helps to show how much work and effort Chris must have put into this, traveling so far and never losing sight of his goal nor giving up. Another aid that this trip provides is by relating his stops to the real world and letting us see it in relation to where we are now and places we have been. This also gives us a feel for the environment that Chris was in, with its use of photographs of the area. One part that I was unsure about was that if this was an exact copy of the trip Chris took. I thought that Chris had went to Carthage twice, but according to the map he only went once.
