a continuation

Due to the overwhelming success of this blog, and because there are 15 more cantons, I have decided to continue, using this same format, providing the same information, and going on until all remaining 15 cantons have been hiked, and documented, in order.

Here is a list of the remaining cantons

Canton		Year joined federation
Schaffhausen		1501
Basel-Stadt		1501 (as Basel until 1833/1999)
Basel-Landschaft		1501/1833[7]
Appenzell Ausserrhoden		1513 [8]
Appenzell Innerrhoden		1513[8]
Aargau		1803
Graubünden		1803[10]
Thurgau		1803[11]
Ticino		1803[12]
Vaud		1803[13]
St. Gallen		1803[9]
Geneva		1815
Neuchâtel		1815/1857
Valais		1815
Jura		1979

I want to thank Andy for giving me the idea of moving forward like this. I have struggled for 3 weeks on the best way to continue. I have tried every combination I could think of, and then, I decided to ask for his thoughts and poof, out came "+15" ... it is simple, works perfect, keeps the theme, and allows me the freedom to do what I have intended, focus on the cantons, focus on the hiking, and focus on blogging about it.
