That could be a theme for a Coming and Going Grand Tour.

So I may redo the file with a more strict data set, that only uses the "map name" - which is usually the city or town.

Once the rules are official, I'll publish a link to the files.

I'm looking forward to it - It'll be in the 60's in NC today, and I rode to work. Any excuse to ride...

I've been using Wiki to search for individual state's cities, towns, villages, and townships, starting close to home and branching out from there.

Wiki's nice because links are provided for the individual spots, and it's easy enough to do a google maps street view to see if the qualifiers are valid.
