Interstate Road Trip Tournament, Round 2, Heat 7.

[Rain Man]

Next up is a good heat with lots of variety.



If I could combine any two states west of the Mississippi, it would be Idaho and Montana. That irregular border bothers me.

East of Mississippi, I would combine New Hampshire and Vermont. They would make such a nice squarish shape when combined that it's almost irresistible.

I guess I tend to prefer order.

Well, I think I-25 would be more interesting than I-35. I-77 would be a nice trip, but I tend to prefer the west.

However, I-4 continues to intrigue me. It's a short trip, so essentially I'll spend a couple of days in Tampa, a couple in Orlando, and a couple in Daytona, with one free day. I could see that being pretty fun.

While I'm a big fan of I-25, I think I'll vote for I-4 here. I don't make it to Florida very often.

I-25 For the scenery. The Florida road trip probably has lots of seedy strip clubs that are a lot of fun though.

I'm rather upset that you left The Stairway to Heaven out of your tournament. Although, I am pleased with the omission of the highway to hell.
