Now go from Mechanical Advantage to Quinnipiac River.


P.S. This reminds me of the time I tried to max out Google Maps at driving distance between two cities. I was able to get over 10,300 miles from Nenana, Alaska to Grense-Jakobselv, Norway; the estimated trip time was over a month. Unfortunately, this route is no longer possible, as Google got rid of the "Swim across the Atlanta Ocean" joke sometime a few months ago.

I don't think this is cheating.... it would be very very difficult if you didn't do this... and the paths would be way longer....
