I've been wanting to post some of the GPS coordinates logged over the last several months, actually, I'm only putting the coordinates from Italy and Kenya on for now. We'll share the rest of our coordinates later (i.e. Bryan doesn't have enough time to copy and paste each individual coordinate right now with Finals and stuff to get ready for.)
So here they are. On some of the coordinates in Pompeii, I had accuracy readings of +/- 8 ft, so pretty accurate coordinates so to speak.
On a side note, I'm not sure why I didn't get any coordinates from the Maasai...I could have sworn I made some waypoints.

March 23rd - This day was cool, from the top of Vesuvius, we could see down to Pompeii. On Google Earth, enter the coordinates exactly how you see them below, and then go from Top of Vesuvius down to the "Inside the Ampitheater" location. You can see the trail we were on when I marked our location on the GPS. If you zoom out, you can see that the current mountain is just a small part of what used to be the entire mountain. Shane...do you see what I mean when I said "This thing is huge?"

April 9th - The Great Rift Valley location on Google Earth is pretty cool...you can definitely see the sheer cliff just north of the location marked on the GPS. Driving down (and back up) both sides of the valley was quite nerve-wracking as it seemed the only people besides us on the road were really huge semi-trucks. African semi-trucks have very bad brakes...just a little scary! The high point was a village we drove through and just outside the village, we stopped to go to the bathroom...I think that's the highest spot I've ever taken a pit stop at! If you zoom out from that location, you'll see Lake Nakuru on the map.
