But Mike you started in California.
You're supposed to start in El Paso and  go to Texarkana Texas. (729
miles)(I think that is the longest possible trip in Texas).
It's not really much worse that San Diego to San Francisco (458 mi) except
in Texas there isn't any scenery except bumper stickers on PickUp Truck
bumpers.
