The next map

Continuing the thread I started last week, I'm working on how to translate maps onto fabric.
I posted last week about a project I'm working on here


This is machine stitched work on black linen.


Using my sewing machine with the feed dogs dropped, 
I'm following the GPS trails from the map sent to me by my collaborator. 


Can any one guess what U.S. city this might be?
