    Boring fact: The highest pass he’ll have to cross on his journey looks like this:

    If he’ll have to be rescued, then because someone ran him over.

          Probably that the US is No. 1 in paving straight over every available surface. And that they will move mountains to do it apparently.

            We have a lot of mountains. But seriously while I’d prefer trains (which would likely require the same deal), the interstate makes sense for this. Overland shipping in this country often uses it (once again, stupid compared to trains). And it’s important to understand that the interstate isn’t a public works project, it’s with GPS in the category of military infrastructure that’s open for public use
