I did it . . . high…way.

The United States of America was one of the first to develop cross-country, high-speed motorways.  Coast to coast, the country is 2800 miles wide / 4,800 km.  It traverses flat land, challenging mountains, vast oceans and scorching deserts.  Kicking off in 1947, the highways are still impressive, but are showing their age.  That being said,…
