Current Goal

My goal is to get from Fort Defiance (waypoint GCVYKZ) in Gloucester, MA to Chinook Park (waypoint GCX1MW) in Washington state, on the Columbia River near the Pacific Ocean.

I want to do it on the ground, and want to do it in as few hops as possible! What is the fewest hops it takes?

Track me using Google Earth and see my progress!

About This Item

Sometime in the 1950s, there was an experiment to see how many people knew other people. The researcher asked a bunch of random people in the mid-west to send a package to someone they thought could get that package to a specific person in Massachusetts. The researcher counted the number of "hops" it took the packages to reach their final destination. The average was about 5.8 - from which we get the Six Degrees of Seperation idea.

I want to see how many hops it takes to get this bug from the east coast (Fort Definance GCVYKZ) to the west coast (Chinook Park GCX1MW).
