That is a huge drive as well - we have trouble putting that in perspective on this small island, so I just checked out what it would mean in UK/European terms if I could drive 1400 miles east from where I am now... (no point in going west, obviously..) I'd cross 7 countries, and just make it across the Ukraine into Russky - about 200 miles east of Kiev.... Just in case you needed reminding how big the US is...

Nice story...

1400 mi. a long trip? Heck, in Canada, some of us have to drive that far to get to the nearest big box store - especially in the far north.

But not to worry - Walmart is on it, and we'll soon have access to cheap junk and Redneck chic in every corner of the land. As they would have said in "Fargo" - "You betcha!"
