    Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice!

    Well, my version is a little screwed up. If that's a problem you could go with Klingonese version.

    A day of the daytime star.
    The clouds are compelled to commence fleeing, and are filled with dread.
    I have a destination;
    and there, because of the atmosphere, I am pleased.
    Describe to me immediately
    how to go to Ultima Thule.

    A little more intimidating perhaps.

    Not as a parody That is why I like it. Although I have what now? A few hours to come up with something? I may just fold it, a lot of things came down in the middle of the month (including paying work that I have been doing).

    Geez, it took me three days to trace out those coasts.

    Ahh Publius, since your online - would you like to put a Latest WIP tag just before your entry, for the WIP scraper thumbnails ?

    Well, after I finished my grading I got to work on this. It is now 4 AM but I am done! It probably isn't the greatest secret in the world, but it is what it is at the last minute.

    Oh, and the pdf goes along with it provides some backstory details (and some intertextual fun for me). You should not need it to figure out the secret (that is what all of the writing on the map is for) although the last page has the solution, printed upside down of course as with the young sleuths of my youth

    There are two maps that go with this, the original I posted along with the detail map included here (which is just a blow-up of the vector original, no tweaking other than re-positioning names and such). I have also included a zip file with the original tif because the gif screwed up my colors (as usual), but the tif when uncompressed is something like 5 meg which will kill those folks on dialup.
