Pack a lunch, Woody, and bring your favorite pillow!Originally Posted by pitc9
The basic MapQuest shortest distance / quickest time route is a whopping
1,500 Miles requiring about 23 Hours of driving time (pee breaks NOT factored in!)
In normal Transport Segments - that would require about 15 drivers each covering 100 miles;
or 20-25 drivers each covering 1 hour of the actual trip mileage.
Now look at the route and determine IF we have Pet Talkers distributed along the way ... Uhht-Ohhhhh.
Consider the route part between Columbus, OH and Harrisburg, PA & the PA Turnpike - via I70 & I76:
That's about 350 miles; and I can only think of 2 PTers (Joyce & Robin) on that section -
and they're both near the Columbus end.
If we start to "bend" the route to pass near PTers - it gets longer and we need MORE drivers.
(Example: Bend it north from Columbus to get to Akron - Youngstown - Pittsburgh (a long segment that I could do) - and you add 2 more un-filled segments to fill one new one ... not a good deal.)
It might be less frustrating to buy Woody a couple of airline tickets and
FLY his fuzzy butt most of the way.
