Times are rough door-to-door estimates by car. Nobody here has driven every leg this season, so treat the table as planning numbers, not a promise.

How FOG works on a road trip
FOG: Fog of War Walking Map covers the world in fog and clears it only where you physically walk. The drive itself paints a thin line. The reason to go is what happens when you park: a town like Yellow Springs comes out of the dark in whole blocks in an afternoon on foot. Free to explore, no account, and it works with no signal.
