  1. Would be appropriate for a "Fun Friday" video.

  2.  @paulpeterson4216  - Take a taxi to a hotel and leave the RV in Jackson Park overnight and there will be no need to come back for it in the morning.

  4. And every available fleet boat is sent to shoot torpedoes at them, and battleships have deep enough drafts that even deep running torpedoes have a good chance of causing damage.

  5.  @clarkevanmeter2676  - Well, there is a U-boat in Chicago and a Gato class boat farther up the western shore of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Heading west from Chicagoland on I-80 will take you through Coralville (99.99% of the people reading this will have no clue where that is), but any coral there is in the Paleozoic era limestone bedrock.

  6. Every truck stop would have space to park an RV, if you do not mind the sound of a few dozen idling large diesel engines.

  8. Amtrak uses freight lines where freight trains have the right-of-way, and often runs a day or two late.

  9. Are not international civil navigation regulations typically ignored during wartime by belligerents?

  10. I have known people to cross the USA in 3 days on a motorcycle, but they are considered insane.

  11. Presumably Drach's model does not contain large amounts of asbestos, PCBs, and other hazardous materials.

  12.  @clarkevanmeter2676  - 600 to 800 miles of corn (maize) and bean monoculture followed by a similar stretch of range land is in practical terms nothing to see.

  13.  @clarkevanmeter2676  - Drive from the west side of the Appalachian Mountains foothills to the east side of the Rocky Mountains foothills and report back on what you see along the way.

  14.  @jeebus6263  - Would need another "l" for that.

  15. Crossing the USA on say I-70 leaves about a 1,300-miles stretch from just east of Columbus, OH to just west of Denver, CO in which there is nothing to see. Go north to I-80 and gap of nothingness extends to about 1,700 miles (roughly Cleveland, OH to Salt Lake City, UT).
