Travels
When
It was discovered, while skydiving, that off to the Northeast
of the Tiki Islands was a small, tan, circular splotch,
many assumed it was Egypt. It seemed right to them. My question
was, "Why hasn't anyone traveled there?" I made
this my goal.
I
drove off the edge of the Tiki Islands and headed in the direction
of the tan splotch, occasionally using a JetPack to make sure
I was heading in the right direction. After hours of board
riding, I started to see the shape of the land mass on the
horizon.
Now sure of the direction to go, I hopped on my buggy and
floored it, quickly hopping up onto dry land, and proving
this was Egypt.
This
didn't sate me though. Because I began to think... "If
you can drive to Egypt... What about Tyr?.. Or Saja?.. They
must surely be reachable too." Soon after, a buddy introduced
me to a much higher level of sky diving. MUCH higher. As in
seeing Earth curvature high. At THIS height, off in the distance,
I saw a gray splotch.
My first assumption was, "There's Tyr."
I
then took my buggy (coz I figured out I could cruise control
it at medium setting and not be thrown off course). While
driving to Tyr, I also discovered that when switching from
'Aerial view -> World Zoom' to 'Standard view', the view
actually zoomed in, affording u a view of your surroundings
very briefly. This is where I was able to discern, through
the use of a keen eye, and trigger finger, the distance I
had to travel to get to Tyr.
To top this off, I was also treated to the view of a small
white dot
off to the side. Saja.
With
the advent of PB3, the prviously unknown island has become
Cangrejo Island, and I have fixed that on my map. As far as
the two little islands are concerned, though, they are still
unnamed, and have been labled as such.
To
make a long story short, I have driven to ALL the different
islands, and consolidated these discoveries with good screen
captures, allowing a nice, distance-accurate map of the land
we know of as There.

I
have yet to discern the north pole (which is somewhere between
islands) but with the new compas i hope to find it soon and
will mark it as much.
