I’ve completed a bulk upload of nearly 300 photos from the hike to my Panoramio account.  Over the next few weeks I will add comments and locate them on the map (they are not geotagged).  Once I’ve placed them on the map they will also be visible as Google Earth photos.

The photos are currently in reverse order of when they were taken.  I will see about rearranging them in the order they were taken during the hike.  The last two photos are from Australia, uploaded as a test when I opened the account.

The shins continue to improve and are only painful when I do random specific things, like point my toes, or make quick stops when walking, or try to sit down or stand up without using my hands to take most of the weight.  I expect to be back on the trail during the first or second week of January.
