haha
well it is true i was high in the andes
thank goodness
but what you are now actually saying here mike at minimum
namely
beginning from beaver creek of all places as if you really could
& then skipping skagway now
to hyder to point roberts to international falls to detroit to niagara
to estcourt to campobello
via all the other stops mentioned below by everyone but me too
& within the terms of the actual 2 week tour being contemplated
& even assuming direct travel & no wrong turns or serendipity
which of course you cant because you wont actually do that
& even assuming you could just end the trip at campobello too
which you cant do either
will still add up on the odometer to far more than the 7400 miles
you are seeing on your roadmap
so in the event of reality
if any
rather than teleportation to the start & from the end
etc etc
you are certainly pushing if not actually into 5 digits of miles
even with this foreshortened itinerary
& if you dont believe me
well then by all means try it with or without the cocaine
but i dont see how anyone could actually even try to make such a
try under any circumstances
let alone with a whole carload of people
& i say this having already driven about 99 percent of it myself
