You are either not reading what I am writing or are
not understanding it. MY MILEAGE IS NOT FLY-BY
MILEAGE BUT IS ROAD DISTANCE CALCULATED VIA MAPQUEST.
STOP TO STOP. You are also ignoring the fact that I
said "I was speaking concerning the stops I had my
list." (fortunately that is below so you can read
that too). Please reread what is in my list. You can
rent cars in Vancouver and Bangor. The mileage IS
7540. That is ROAD distance, not some crude
estimation. If you seem to be in such utter
disbelief, why dont you actually calculate it out on
Mapquest instead of just assuming you are right? Your
addition of 1200 miles is completely unwarranted as it
is ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR. And your 700 serendipitous
miles may be appropriate for you, but not necessarily
for everyone else. And it is not necessary to expand
upon the plus for the simple reasone that COMMON SENSE
tells you hotels plus food does not come to 2460
miles!
