After #nacis2022 I spent some time in a cabin in the woods, which had this cool map of the region 😄 #lovemaps #cartography

#30DayMapChallenge For Days 1 - 4 I decided to use Felt. The mapping platform that was demo'd at this year's #NACIS2022 I also decided it would be cool.to give the felt team my feedback using my map. (I don't know how the will see it.. but whatever)
