I had a meeting in Zionsville, Indiana. I lived in South Bend, Indiana. To go to Zionsville you go south in US 31 and turn right. Wanting to be certain of my directions, I consulted Mapquest.
I was told to go east on the Indiana Tollroad until I got to the Ohio Tollroad, and at the Detroit junction I was to turn north. Cross into Windsor, Ontario and continue east through Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In NS I was to take some obscure country road to a seacoast town. When I got there I was proceed 3,700 miles southeast, which would put me in Zionsville. Total travel time was 21 days, not counting returning (or time afloat).
