My Reaction
The Google Earth map of the trip that Chris McCandless took was very interesting, and, overall, I liked it. It looked like whoever made it put a lot of hard work into it. It was also a very useful visual. Looking at it, you see just how far Chris McCandless went, and can fully appreciate the fact. The only thing I did not like that much about it was that it was not very specific. I believe there could have been more information in it. For example, they did not include the place where he stayed with Jan Burres, and they also did not have a lot of specifics about his canoe trip. Still, the overall product was good.
