    I drove across the country, from Detroit to LA and all I had was a piece of paper with a list of the roads I needed to take. If I lost that paper the plan was to follow the setting sun. I could also drive the opposite direction of a rising sun but sometimes it was hard to tell which way the sun was going.

      I guess nobody told you how highways are numbered? 😁

      TLDR: Ends in odd, goes north and south. Even, east to west.

      It’s numbered from top right to bottom left. Eg, Rt1 goes from Maine to Florida and is the most eastern route. 66 goes east-west and is south of the parallel route 50.

      Edit: On further thought, all the highways are clear.rly marked north south east west. Using the sun… Was an interesting thought.
