I'd personally vote for a tour of the trails in national parks.
- bartonfink 14y agoThat's actually not a bad idea - Google sponsored hikes.
- te_chris 14y agoI was at an arduino talk at last year's BaaCamp in Auckland, NZ and there was a guy who had made his own street view style cam for capturing hiking trails using arduino and some cameras. Very cool, imagine he's not the only one either.

- snogglethorpe 14y agoWhat's sad, though, is that are there roads (and parking lots) in those places... The streetviews just sort of rub it in. :( A backpack-cam, on the other hand would be great, and give a much truer sense of what it's like to be out there in the middle of nowhere.
