Very nice trip report - your doing a nice job with your blog.
I also think route maps like Bob Burd has with his reports and pictures are really nice. I use people's trip reports to get ideas for future hikes and scrambles up mountains and it's a big help when there's a map of the route with the report. I've been trying to include a map of my route with my pictures from my trips on my Smugmug site because I figure if I'm using maps I find with other people's reports, I should give back by posting maps for others to use.
