94%  7 miles 212 secs-
i guess all those days spent lookin at maps in the backseat of a car in random parts of the country finally amounted to something tremendous.

Not even going to try it!! 10 years of listening to jambands and 8 years of collecting concerts has given me an idea of some of the states\' names (could probably have named only ten or so before then), but location - not a chance.:)

Would be crap at that too - a few years ago they reorganised all the boundaries, creating many more new counties(nearest equivalent to your states, if somewhat smaller), renaming others, reverting back to old names for others. Believe me, I could just about manage Wales. :)
