Currently, most markers open up to photo galleries that are linked to the Facebook Info page for this project.  
The photos in these galleries are still-images captured from  film footage of the reenactment scenes we have produced
 so far,  but will be gradually replaced by film vignettes for those scenes as the edits are completed for each.

 To navigate through each  photo gallery, click on the first photo in each, and then an enlarged photo with storyline caption will appear.  Use the right-arrow alongside each photo to scroll through the gallery and to follow each journey for that location. 

Enjoy your virtual expedition!
