Field Notes
SockMonkey.com is a free travel guide to places worth exploring, near and far, from national parks and scenic drives to remote islands. Each entry is researched, names its sources and is dated, and covers the place's geography, its history and how to get there. The site also has a map of every place and a history of the sock monkey as an American folk-craft tradition. Daily travel games about the places are in testing. Each place page also carries a diary page from Tally, our travelling sock monkey.
