Days out with a camera

The whole map was made one day at a time, and the camera wrote the minute into every photo. These are the 12 days we took 15 or more, from Sunday, August 19, 2018 to Wednesday, June 24, 2020. Each one is where we were in the order we got there, and what the places the fires reached are today.
