One correction: those Natchez Trace photos were taken in Ridgeland, MS (not Natchez).

Glad to help, **labtrash**. It was a good excuse for a photo safari. Be sure to keep us updated on how her class likes this project.

Stanley’s understudy is taking a well-deserved retirement on the counter along with his understudy’s understudy. His understudy’s understudy’s understudy is still in the glove box. Stanley, though, is resting comfortably in wherever they take the recycling bin. He didn’t survive Easter.

Update (and a looooong bump):

[181 photos so far](http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k302/labtrash/Flat%20Stanley/) (password is stanley - try the slideshow - it looks cool 🆒 ), and emails have been sent to everyone who hasn’t submitted yet(as reminders), and my niece will be selecting pics on Tuesday, April 22. I think she’s picking at least 1 from each location, and will print those to a poster or something like that, along with a map of all the locations he’s been to.

Is there an online way to do this as well? I remember a thread where we went to one & put our locations into it.

I’ll try to get pics of the “report” for you all as well.

Stanley’s been to Australia! - my niece will FREAK when she finds out! He went to Flemington (Home of the Melbourne Cup) - 10,176 miles !

Also some cool pics from Edwards Air Force Base (Blackbird AirPark, home of the coolest plane ever), and a beautiful shot of Stanley in a poppy field in the Mojave.

To clarify: although EAFB is nearby, the pics were from Lockheed Skunkworks in Palmdale.

And I shall take Stanley to UCLA this week. 🙂
