Hey Sweetie, If you need charts to the end of the internet or want to know what sites to see when you get there, I have them all! In fact, I think I was the Original Pioneer there! When you get there you will see that I carved, Painted and wrote in the dirt, on the trees and rocks and the little log cabin walls: "The Fingers of Fury Was Here!"
I even have photos of what the end of the internet looks like!
