Question 4 of 10

Question 5 of 10
5. I kept on driving from Charleston, West Virginia straight on into Cleveland, Ohio where I picked up I-80 that took me straight into the heart of the Big Apple.

Question 8 of 10

Question 9 of 10
9. Butte, Montana may not be a big place, but it is a major junction for heading off on I-15 to do some skiing in Salt Lake City, Utah. Aunt Margaret was worried about breaking a leg, but I wasn't concerned about which direction I-15 and the compass in my Camry were going? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Salt Lake Citied-out and feeling the need to visit the "Biggest Little City in the World" and try my hand at poker, we hopped back on I-80 and set off for Reno, Nevada.
