Maps

I was trying to figure out where they were driving to and from in the amnesia!fic. I said Sam and Jack went about 10 hours from Colorado Springs to find Daniel in a small university town. Then they drove back in two drives, but not directly toward Colorado Springs, because they were trying to avoid the NID. But then I said Sam was going to go west back to Colorado Springs while the boys went north to some unidentified destination. This suggests that Sam and Jack went about 10 hours southeast of Colorado Springs. Which put them smack dab in the middle of freakin' Texas.

*reels from unfamiliar geography*

This would have been so much easier to write realistically if the SGC were in my neck of the woods.

So Lord knows what little university town would have hired Daniel in the middle of Texas. Well, probably plenty of Texans know. I'm figuring they drove in two short days from Texas to Kansas, then Daniel and Jack will do a long day from Kansas to Montana. That looks doable per the map and Mapquest.

Ew. Kansas. I got a very bad impression of Kansas when I was there. If I were Dorothy, I would have stayed in Oz. But to be fair I drove through Kansas in February in an ice storm. I imagine no state looks good on a day like that.

Anyway, if I had really planned, I would have had Sam and Jack go south west. I know there's lots of weird little colleges in Arizona, and probably also in CA. Oh, well.
