              You’ve just triggered a memory. Something about vehicles zooming around Lego Island. Were you able to get out of them while they were moving so that they kept going?

                Oh I have no idea, I remember very little of that game. Something about a helicopter crash and a race you had to use the skateboard for. It was the fastest vehicle.

          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

            Could also get snowed in somewhere or unable to get to shelter during a major storm.

              I mean he should get to the East Coast around 70 days from now, what are the chances he’ll see snow before January 30th. Guess he can turn around and ride back through the Appalachian Mountains in February. No snow there right?

          Another fact: Society failed to educate him properly using taxpayer money.

          Perhaps society deserves to face the consequences of its actions.

            I agree with you and have even more to add -

            Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I’m not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)

          For what its worth: He made it to NY today. No rescue required. The community helped him out along the way.
