1. Philadelphia PA to Jacksonville FL
2. Los Angeles CA to Seattle WA - I-5
3. Kansas City MO to Fargo ND - I-29 (35 runs to Minneapolis, so it has to be 29)
4. Miami FL to Knoxville TN - I-89
5. Phoenix AZ to New Orleans LA - I-10
6. Syracuse NY to Roanoke VA I-87
7. Baltimore MD to Denver CO, the interstate which I refer to as the Carmelo Anthony Semi-Memorial Highway - I-70
8. St. Louis MO to Richmond VA - I-64 (It has to be, assuming 70 goes farther north. I have no idea how far past Louisville 64 goes, but it must make it to Virginny)
9. Chicago IL to Jackson MS - I-55 (I'll kick myself if it's 57, but I don't think 57 goes that far south...)
10. Cleveland OH to Cincinnati OH - I-75 (Damn, all I remember about Cincy's highways from going there for baseball last year was how %&*^% up they were. It's probably 71 instead...)
11. Detroit MI to Billings MT - I-90
12. Dallas TX to Atlanta GA - I-20
13. Minneapolis MN to Austin TX - I-35
14. Oklahoma City OK to Raleigh-Durham NC - I-40
15. Columbia SC to Akron OH - I-91
BONUS
Toledo OH to Gary IN (I need 2 answers to this one) - I90-94

Oh, dear. This is mostly a list of places that my mom won't drive me. Still, I know a few of them from when I studied my Big Book of Maps for Home School High School, combined with trips to the far-away vet. I'll start with those and try to figure out more.
1. Philadelphia PA to Jacksonville FL -- I-95
2. Los Angeles CA to Seattle WA -- I-5
3. Kansas City MO to Fargo ND -- I-25
4. Miami FL to Knoxville TN -- I-75

8. St. Louis MO to Richmond VA -- I-dunno
9. Chicago IL to Jackson MS -- I-55
10. Cleveland OH to Cincinnati OH -- I-am-confused
11. Detroit MI to Billings MT -- I-90
12. Dallas TX to Atlanta GA -- I-30

Toledo OH to Gary IN (I need 2 answers to this one) I don't know how to figure this out. I would guess I-80, since I haven't used that yet, but there must be a turn or something. Did anybody ever want to go from Toledo to Gary?

Dagnabbit, somehow, when I copied and pasted, I deleted #8, which is the one I would have been most certain about (I get on that dang Interstate every day). Dash it all.

Answers are due by Friday at 5 PM Eastern.
1. Philadelphia PA to Jacksonville FL - I95
2. Los Angeles CA to Seattle WA - I5
3. Kansas City MO to Fargo ND - Can't be I35 as noted in #13 below. I33?
4. Miami FL to Knoxville TN I75 (Now. Originally it ended in Tampa.)
5. Phoenix AZ to New Orleans LA - I10
6. Syracuse NY to Roanoke VA - 80 something. I83?
7. Baltimore MD to Denver CO, the interstate which I refer to as the Carmelo Anthony Semi-Memorial Highway I70
8. St. Louis MO to Richmond VA - I60?
9. Chicago IL to Jackson MS - I55
10. Cleveland OH to Cincinnati OH - I71
11. Detroit MI to Billings MT - Can't be I90 because that goes south of Detroit. I96? Never heard of an I96...
12. Dallas TX to Atlanta GA - I20
13. Minneapolis MN to Austin TX - I35 (this has to be right as it is the only option for Austin. So #3, which I also had as I35 because I know I35 goes through KC, must be wrong)
14. Oklahoma City OK to Raleigh-Durham NC - I40
15. Columbia SC to Akron OH - I77
BONUS
Toledo OH to Gary IN (I need 2 answers to this one) I80 and I90
My road trip last summer from Atlanta to Cincy to DC to Atlanta helped a bit! Not to mention all those years in Texas and Oklahoma and the many drives to Atlanta and back.

West of the Mississippi kind of got the shaft today, didn't it?
