June 21 - there were 639 nodes online from coast to coast
When I turned on my display on the morning of June 21 there were 639 nodes online from California to New Hampshire and points in between. I assume a tunnel or more got enabled somewhere, but I could not determine where. It was a pleasant surprise, but most were off the next day. It made things interesting for a while.

Hi, Bob:

Had you run 'traceroute' on one of the California 'node-names',
you might have noticed the path.
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/tracert)

There was at least one California node that left
"Allow other MESH nodes to use my WAN - not recommended and OFF by default"
enabled, so 
I disabled my end of the tunnel to the 'East Coast'.

The 'share WAN' can be a very handy feature during a community communication outage,
but IMHO, it should 'normally' be disabled.
