Question: Why can't we input more than 26 locations on Google Maps?


Cheese Lovers! Cheese Makers! Cheese...People of every type! Friends! Family! Welcome! We are setting off on a multi-week cheese tour of the U.S.A that will take us from coat to coast--NYC to SF. Why? WE LOVE CHEESE! Especially Artisanal Cheese. Our goal is to visit well established, and up and coming "rising star" cheese makers across the country, particularly in some of the regions that tend to get less attention.
For us, eating and appreciating fine, hand-made cheese has become a passion that grows deeper every day. We have been working with many of these awesome American Farmstead/Artisanal Cheeses (and fabulous European Cheeses of course) for years and are excited to meet the people behind some of our favorites. Our particular interest, besides the cheeses themselves, is the places they are made, the "hometowns" of the people who make and enjoy the finest farmstead products in the U.S.A.
Of course we had to map out our trip right? This beginning stage of our trip has led us to lose faith in Google Maps for the time being. Maximum destination inputs? 26! That's point A to Z. Now really, Google, you're letting us down here! Yes, we have more than 26 stops on our journey and all we wanted was one big ol' map. Most of our 27+ stops are all about Cheese, but hey, who can pass up Graceland? Well, it kind of fits into our "Cheesy" theme. And it was either that or Dollywood. ( Darren voted Dollywood...interesting!)
All this map hoogamalu had led us in a different direction when it comes to posting our route. We will break our trip up into 3-4 day chunks. The first leg of our trip will be posted on September 30th along with the coinciding map. Google, can you handle this? Wifi, can you handle this? Battery, can you handle this? I really hope Y'all can handle this!

  1. I can handle this. You ARE stopping in Buffalo, right??? Some of the best cheese I've ever had is in Buffalo.
