Friends, why didn’t anyone tell me I looked like this? You’ve let me down. Lord, lord, lord, you let me down.

Very lazy rough outline of my route.

Here’s the gist of my intended route. Almost 5,000 miles. I think if I cut out a couple bits interpreted for cars, it gets down to 4,600 range. But seriously. You’ve got to be kidding. I’m stupid. View Tentative Cross-Continent Route in a larger map When does it start snowing in Maine?
