After adding 31 new counties in Illinois so far this year, I have now driven in a total of 1,371 counties, which is ~44% of the 3,144 counties in the US! Slowly but surely... I plan to finish TX and IL, and then I'll do a little road trip through TN and KY to the Appalachians in early summer. :) - ThreadSky

Oh-visiting!

I thought you were gerrymandering for a sec.

Man is avoiding the lower peninsula like the plague

Very awesome!

But also, very sad face ☹️

So YOU'RE the person in those math problems!

When did you hit Fulton County, IL?

aflightybroad.bsky.social•137 days ago

michigan UP only run …

sorry you had to deal with our shitty utah drivers. we're working on it i promise

I'm guessing "storm chaser" is why you have so much coverage of some states and zero in others?

outseide.bsky.social•137 days ago

This is very cool! It looks like you hit the county where I grew up, in SW Florida (Lee).

jailapeche.bsky.social•136 days ago

I love this map.
It appears more than 44%.
I'm looking forward to your photography 👍

captpaulgeo.bsky.social•137 days ago

I know I've asked before (my apologies), but what are you using to create these?

spahn711.bsky.social•137 days ago

This is via https://mapchart.net :)

@spahn711.bsky.social if you are going to do Deep South Texas (Camron, Hidalgo, and Starr) I would recommend going in the spring due to the summer heat.

You've got the south surrounded. Cornered in. Supply line right through the middle. Opportunity...

Whewn you're going through Southern Illinois, you gotta stop at Quatro's Pizza in Carbondale! It a hometown specialty!

perchorin.bsky.social•137 days ago

This is pretty awesome, and I think you can add one more because unless you took a boat you 100% had to have driven in Fairfax County, Virginia to get from DC/Maryland to the rest of Virginia via the route otherwise shown here. Prince William Co Va & Prince George’s Co MD don’t actually connect.

My county map looks absolutely freaking ridiculous with how recklessly I’ll keep chasing a nothing storm for a single bolt of lightning

dsadventures33.bsky.social•137 days ago

We all saw your 2024.
Don't lie

healeyphoto.bsky.social•137 days ago

Youre nuts if you think I didnt add 6 hours and hundreds of miles of driving to down days needlessly chasing bolts that almost never panned out lol 250 miles in one night in CO on a Gen-T day in CIRCLES

dsadventures33.bsky.social•136 days ago

Where's the problem?
Sounds like the storm chaser life to me
