The Most Efficient Way to Drive Through All the Contiguous United States


View Larger Map


Stephen Von Worley of Data Pointed has found the most efficient way to drive through all the forty-eight connected United States.  Needless to say it is quite creative and relies in part by quick drive through certain states.  I do not know if this would meet TDAXP's requirement of visiting states (getting out of the car and buying something) but bravo to such a neat, fascinating effort.  Interestingly thinking outside the box, the trip ends in Montana while I would probably of had the trip in California or Washington.

Interesting!

Also counter-intuitively, the path has you backtracking out of MI and IN back to Chicago.

nice concept & execution too but at least several improvements are indeed possible most obviously 23 miles & 13 minutes by skipping fergus falls minn but also 3 miles & 3 minutes by starting in salmon falls maine rather than south berwick etc etc etc
