Estimated Time: 4.0 hours 17 minutes Estimated Distance: 276.62 miles

The only thing I don't like about this is the toll roads that you see on steps 8 and 9 I'm trying to see if there's a way to avoid those bad boys. This is step one, we'll work on step two in a few. . .

EDIT!
If you take away the first toll road things can still work out, it's just a slightly trickier deal. . . (and offically it says it'll take us 4 hours and 22 minutes instead of 4 hours and 17 mins)

Okay. . . that one looks like this. . . the same first few steps, up to. . .
