Our interest in this satrted with pre-empting the boredom that could set in with studying only dry facts about the 50 states of the US. How? By adding the Pan American Hwy to it:
According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world's longest "motorable road." Jake Silverstein, writing in 2006, described the Pan-American Highway as "a system so vast, so incomplete, and so incomprehensible it is not so much a road as it is the idea of Pan-Americanism itself…" (Silverstein, p. 71) - from Wikiperia article. From the point of Alaska connecting to Siberia we ventured into numerous suggestions over the years for railroad bridges and tunnels...main goal to overcome or prevent potential boredom from study of war, war, and more war.
