Wow!....I have been very busy for the last couple of weeks reading about the Mojave Desert and all of the research NASA is working on out there. I wanted to update all of you about my travel plans. While in the desert, I will be in one spot for meals and sleeping. During the day, we will be traveling around in the Mojave Desert conducting our research.
Even though I won't be flying most of the way around the globe like I did when I went to Antarctica, I will be in many different places in the United States. Since many of you tracked my position during the Antarctic trip aboard the Oden by plotting our latitude and longitude, I decided to give you my coordinates of the major places I will be in the next two weeks. Below is a chart, by date, of where I will be. Sometimes, I will only be in the place for an hour or two. At other times, I will be in one place for several days at a time. If you are curious, like me, you could get a map and try to figure out all the places I will visit. I have included some pictures for hints. I will list cities I have visited as I go so you can check how well you found my stops.

If you can get permission to draw on a United States map, you can trace my path from place to place!
