Chad: 3000km in the Sahara

[netllama]

Placing netllama's adventure travels in Chad in perspective and scale I photoshopped a combination of his GPX map and a same scale map of Death Valley National Park Boundaries. As you can see netllama "ran circles" around the largest national park in the continental USA. For those too lazy to grab your reading glasses Death Valley is the small rust brown colored "smudge" within the circle of netllamas stops in central Chad.

That's a cool size comparison you created there.

Chad is about 3x the size of all of California. Its huge, and is the 21st largest country. Then again, most of the Sahara countries are massively huge (Algeria, Sudan, Egypt, Mauritania, Niger, Libya).
