The Great Backpacking Burro Road Trip Starts Here!

16 Feb

This is it folks… The new project I’ve been banging on about for about 2 days (I was going to tease you for a week, but I’m a very impatient chap and couldn’t wait any longer to get started). Your favourite Burro is buggering off on a Road Trip across the northern edge of Sansara, the first continent. I’ve no idea where this will take me* but the plan is to explore the sims I drive through and speak to the people behind the wonderful things I find. And you’re all invited to join me at anytime – just IM me and I’ll TP you to wherever I am**. WARNING: You are more than welcome to drive with me, but I can not stress enough how badly I suck at driving in SL and my passengers frequently require relogs as I shoot over 3 sim crossings at 100mph shouting “AARRRRSSSSE! SORRRRRRYYYYY!”

Here is a map of the first part of Sansara, followed by my planned first stage in a little more detail (sorry about the crappy yellow lines but hey! I’m no artist you know):

Grid Map 1

Grid Map 1b

Grid Map 1d

The X marks the starting point in Noyo and the circle is the first major junction where I plan to head down the southern spur before returning north to the main road.

Yours in Travel. And a 1931 Primouth Cheetah.

* Well, that’s not true really – the map shows where it’ll take me but that’s not what I meant and you know it. Sigh.

** Good job there’s no need for toilet breaks in SL!

    Hope you stop and feed the birds at my place! “Sansara” is an unofficial name only.

    Why can I not suppress this queer feeling that the your Sansara road trip could be the most important event in SL history so far(!?) At any rate, here’s big newbie hellow wave (look east, er, north) from a fellow backpacker as you journey eastward!

    Thanks for your vote, blinker, but I’m just a small fish in SL – a humble explorer and no Magellan (http://secondlife.wikia.com/wiki/Magellan_Linden) that’s for sure :)

    I will send you something in world next time I am on…

    Hiya Hig! Lovely to see you here matey! You are more than welcome to swoop over my car, but please ignore the crappy driving :-D

    I have one of Cubby’s wonderful planes, but unfortunately find flying even harder than driving :(

    I’m in the middle of buying a new PC that will be hard-wired to the web instead of wifi like my poor old laptop so that should help.

    Mmmmm, windlight…
