BTW if you don’t mind taking rural roads, you could get from NYC to SF via only 9 states. NY-PA-OH-KY-MO*-OK-NM-AZ-CA
(Technically there’s no bridge from directly from Kentucky to Missouri, you’d have to clip the southernmost tip of Illinois for a moment as you cross, so count that as ten states if you must)
Interestingly, you could get from Halifax to Vancouver by crossing only eight provinces: Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland aren't part of the main (and Labrador doesn't connect to anything)
Great podcast, I really enjoyed it!
