There’s nothing like a scavenger hunt that is, so far, taking my teammate, mascot and myself across two states (so far) to remind you why you bought your weird little hybrid.

I would guess I’ve done somewhere around 500 miles thus far. And I’m definitely not getting anywhere near that mileage... And really I don’t feel like I’ve gone that far, I’ve mostly just been on the west side of metro Boston, though I did cut through Rhode Island the first weekend (without stopping, though I regret not stopping here https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/8599 , though now that I see it is on RoadsideAmerica I probably couldn’t use it anyway), and New Hampshire yesterday.

I would rack up serious miles if I tried to get any of the “Alice” ones, the closest to me is an hour away, the five closest are an average of 131 minutes away, and all in different states, so it’s not like they are at all “on the way”

I feel you. The closest Alice ones for me are in Central Kansas, Central Oklahoma or Central Iowa, take your pick... All are easily 8+ hour round trips.

I’m cheating on the fuel mileage because I’m daily-driving a first-gen Insight, but y’know...

I’ve maxed out my roadside america, so I think it would need to be something not on their to count for wildcard points (or I just need to stop looking whether things are there so I can claim ignorance).

There’s another one by South Station in Boston:

I might stop by there when I’m in Boston this weekend just in case I can use it.
