Bozo the kKklown Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 How much to scale is said map? If it is on regular 8.5x11, a sticker could easily be 50 miles off by sliding it over a centimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Start asking people grade school math and science questions or history or literature and I think you’re going to find similar results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless you live in a monster sized county, just putting a dot on it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my elementary school there was at least one year heavily dedicated to Virginia geography and history. We had to do tests and projects revolving around the geography of the state. .

TheGreatBuzz Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Wife and I took a vacation a few years ago to southern Florida. Turned off the GPS and grabbed a map. Only rule was not interstates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 So I was going to say something snarky about not being able to get from one state to another without traveling on an interstate road (as by definition, interstate means it goes between two or more states), when obviously you meant an interstate highway which is part of the national system. Anyway, as I was looking up info on the interstate system, it tells me they have 3 interstates in Hawaii. Again, I think somebody doesn't know the meaning of the word because there are no roads in Hawaii that go to another state. So they would necessarily be intrastate highways. Nevermind me.

The whole point was to make sure there were federal roads for the federal military to get around, we already had highways, interstate or intrastate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
