Someone have a a program to generate shortest route from given starting point?

In Operations Research this is known as the Traveling Salesman problem: find the shortest route that connects a list of cities. Check it out on Wikipedia, which has an excellent short article on it. Several solutions are known, but it is one of the most difficult problems in Operations Research.

I drove in all 48 contiguous before 30, but had to wait until 35 for Hawaii and 49 for Alaska. Grew up in Seattle, college in NY, significant time in Atlanta, Denver and San Diego.

The night I drove into Tucumcari to find a hotel was the very first time I realized what that part of the song was about. :') The hotel was, I guess, a former apartment complex, as the units were definitely like apartments. There was a nice courtyard sporting fossil tree stumps. Wish I'd had more time.

Lowell George was the best!

Loved his solo album, too and his cover of Ricki Lee Jones’ “Easy Money”

Correct, and that line is what got Lowell George summarily kicked out of Zappa’s Mothers of Invention.
