I hope relations between Cuba and the US and A improve for one reason: so
car collectors can save all those 50s cars still roaming the streets of
Havana and other Cuban locales.

I wouldn't mind seeing all Hummer H2 and H3s on the bottom of the ocean
floor.

I came close with Prudhoe Bay, AK to Athens at 10,366 miles, estimated
time 34 days 11 hours, with step 61 matching Arif's step 20. I tried
getting to Istanbul since the map showed roads there, but the program
didn't calculate it.

Prudhoe Bay to Moscow, Russia 10,248 miles - you start swimming at step
61:

Prudhoe Bay to Volgograd, Russia: 10,840mi - again, the swim starts at
step 61.

Artificial reefs? They're already doing that with obsolete military
equipment, tanks, planes, even aircraft carriers.
