    Either of them are still a lot longer than it is worth

    Obviously, but that still doesn't answer why anyone would want to go from Boise to Portland.

    Montana - "Welcome to Montana. Oh, are we in your way? I'm sorry. Where ya headed? Seattle, WA? Well ya what, if you don't want to drive through our state, this is what you need to do. Head back to Fargo, ND, Drive south till you hit Omaha, NE. The head west till you hit Salt Lake City. Then head up past Boise, ID to Portland, OR. Then you can take the hellish I-5 up into Seattle. Don't worry, it's only an extra 900 Miles to your journey."

    Why would you go from Boise to Portland, when you can just continue north through Idaho until you hit I-90?

    Because I-15 hits I-90, in MONTANA!

    Ok, anytime I have to do this much research for a joke just makes me cry a little inside. But the fact is that basically all of US-95, which is the route you chose north from Boise, is a 55 mph max two-lane road, which if my memory serves me correct is all under construction till 2011 while they they widen it to 4 lanes.

    And if I wanted to use US routes while I was doing that, I would have said just take US-20 and just detour around the 10 miles that drives through Montana.

    That route that you made that starts in Minnesota, would effectively increase distance and time by 150%

    Why make fun of Montana so much, but not North Dakota? No way is Montana worse. Right?

    See I was leaning that was too, but I guess Moe's got pictures of what looked to be a giant booze barn in the middle of the nothingness in ND so I guess it wins. In reality though that whole section is the desolate plains of South Canada Unincorporated so there are no winners.

    Okay...in Montana, you're not an official town unless you have a bar. There's a town here called Two Dot - the name comes from the fact that the town had two bars, on on each end of the main thoroughfare.

    Huh. I always thought it was in Quebec. Oh well. And in order to get back from London before my spring break was over... I needed the 402. And it wasn't there.

    Yea Canadian highways are so freaking dangerous. The 401 just across the border always has a really nasty accident at least once a week that shuts down the whole thing.

    Besides the Canadians still have enough sense not to stick their capital in a province with frenchies that can barely stand them and keep trying to take their ball and go home.

    I know I may be mugged for suggesting this, but I spent a few days in Montana on vacation and I'm certain it was a mountainous, beautiful state with a great deal of things to look at on the bus ride.
