BPL Member Map

[Ken Thompson]

I see a lot of new names posting.

Bump

[Cesar Valdez]

Tried to add a pin for myself a few times, but can't see myself on the map yet. Maybe just needs time to update? Anyhow, I will keep an eye on it and make sure it worked. I will be the first person living in Scandinavia on the map :)

[Ken Thompson]

i see you on the map twice Cesar. I sure hope to make it over there sometime.

[Cesar Valdez]

I just deleted my first try, thanks for checking Ken.

It's a pretty cool place, you should man. If you do let me know and maybe I can show you around :)

My little dot in eastern nevada looks pretty lonely between the swarms of cali and colorado, even though my back yard is a national park. I think Great Basin is the least visited national park in the US…..ALL MINE

[Ryan C]

Makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one stuck in boring Ohio.

Drop a pin for yourself. See where everyone is. Represent. Instructions/links are in the first post.

I will add you if you wish. Just PM me.

[Ian]

It took a few minutes before the blue pin appeared. I'm not sure if that's because this is the first time I've used this google feature or not but just wanted to throw that out there in case someone else encounters this.

[Ryan Smith]

I'm on there now. Thanks Ken! There are two other BPL'ers within 90 mins of me. Who knew.

[james]

[Ken Thompson]

Time to bump this and get some new members listed.

[Michael Gunderloy]

Not that anyone else would necessarily want it…

[Austin]

Flagstaff, AZ

[Nick Otis]

Exactly. I ran away from the snow and forgot to come back… Boston —-> San Diego

[Mark V.]

I'm now on the map. There are a lot in Nor-Cal

[Paul Geimer]

Soon to be a Ute. Salt Lake City-bound next month!

Four year later, and I'm STILL on the map.

Alaska is way over-represented, per-capita on many fronts, such as: suicides, gun ownership, snow machine deaths, domestic violence, pilot's licenses, (low) population density, avalanche fatalities, (negative) taxation rates, bear attacks, Spam consumption (not really, we're second behind Hawaii), boating deaths, registered motor vehicles, and really stupid "reality" TV shows.

So I checked how we were in BPL representation. 4 in Alaska (plus more that I know of, but they aren't on the map) versus 8 in my home town of San Francisco which, while 14,000 times smaller, is about the same population.

So, apparently, like disco, shag carpet, non-smoking restaurants, acknowledgement of the 2008 and 2012 Presidential-election results, and acceptance of climate-change science; UL backpacking principles are taking many years longer to arrive up here.

[Chris Bruce]

One more added for the Sunshine State!

[Jenny Simchock]

I'm not on

[Dave G]

Durham City UK, and no I don't really live in Durham Castle.

[monkey]

Only 7 people in whole of the UK – and then only 4 in the rest of the Europe? :(

[Mike B]

Is this still a thing?

I can not get the map to load ……..

[Ken Thompson]

Interest petered out.

[Danny Milks]

I’m still on the map, and still in the same town, if that’s any consolation.

[Ken Thompson]

Me too. It still works, so have at it.
