Reverse direction and you've got it. Which Vancouver? There's more than one FYI.

Thanks for figuring that one out...couldn't fathom not hugging the lake shore of Lake Michigan.

Your move on how to get from one city to another without using a specific highway.

At the time I type this, Google is suggesting you'd save 10 minutes off that time (or 32 miles) by taking IL-47 north through Woodstock into Wisconsin, then WI-120 and US-12 to Elkhorn.

I was wondering the same thing. Not a bad time-saving route as compared to the original "˜answer' to your "˜question'.

Salt Lake City to Denver. However, all roads within the roughly rectangularish-shaped area formed by Interstates 15, 25, 70 and 80--including those interstates themselves while forming the borders of this area--are off limits.

Round 1: Find a route north of I-80.

Round 2. Find a route south of I-70.

Round 1: Find a route north of I-80.

Round 2. Find a route south of I-70.

Keeping it to numbered routes only, and staying off those interstates:

North of I-80: US 89, UT 106, US 89, (summer only: I-84, UT 167, UT 39, UT 16), UT 30, WY 89, US 30, US 189, WY 372, WY 28, US 287, WY 220, WY 487, US 30, WY 34, WY 312, WY 320, US 26, US 85, WY 219, US 85.

South of I-70: UT 68, US 6, UT 257, UT 21, UT 160, (summer only: UT 153), US 89, UT 62, UT 24, UT 95, US 191, US 491, CO 141, CO 145, CO 62, US 550, US 50, US 285.

I don't really see the point.

Challenge: Philly to NYC. You must stay in the blue areas here. If each side of the road is a different color, it is allowed. (Warning: NYTimes allows 5 free articles per month)
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.
