My bike route map

I could use some input on my map. Suggestions on how to improve it......anyone?

Labeling and annotations, you've got to love it!

This week and last we learned about effective type in map design. After Pete showed us all the options there are in changing labels, fonts, sizes, and spacing I must I was impressed by the software capabilities. However, after trying to create a great map with a ton of labels my head was spinning with options. I could do that, or maybe this....no wait I should have done it like that instead....what did he say about serif and sanserif again?...AHHH!
I had to stop trying different options at some point. Check out the map.

My first blog entry ever

Fall 2009 classes have started, and I am still an enrolled student. This semester I am taking my last requirement to obtain a GIS certificate. I am also learning about local flora fall for our area.
Our first assignment for GIS 121 is to create a blog, so here it is!
