The maps: Long-time readers of the VCT (virtual cooktruck) know that the daily maps give only an approximation of where the corps is today. Or will be tomorrow. Even though you can go to Google maps and zoom way in -- to street level in some cases -- that's not the way to find out where the corps is today. We don't use the exact address of the housing site to make the maps. I usually just get as close to the city as I can. And sometimes the town listed is the location of the show that night, not the housing site itself.
If you are looking to catch up with the corps, consult the daily itinerary posted at colts.org and sent to all members and parents as the season goes along. Don't try to follow my maps to the Colts. You'll just get lost.
More on maps: If I'm not half-asleep when I'm making them, this is the system I use for this year's Google maps: the red placemark is where the Colts ARE today. The blue placemark is where the WERE yesterday. And the green placemark is where they WILL BE tomorrow. Not that I don't screw up the system sometimes. Also, if for instance they ARE and WILL BE the same place, there'll just be one placemark for that, not two. What color I might use for the "overlap" days is anybody's guess.
colts.org: Please go to www.colts.org for official word on what's up with the Colts. Like for housing changes, updates on where the Colts are staying where there's been no location listed, etc. We don't always get a chance to cross-post things that are up there. And we pretty much think you guys are going there anyway. So it's best to check both sites every day.
