Like Shadaza previous attempts this is a Navigation Challenge using Google Maps. Those races were simple point A to point B races. This one doesn't quite work that way. This one sees you decide where to start and end the trip
In the contiguous United States there are 49 Capitol Building (48 state and 1 federal) your challenge is to visit as many as possible in 140 hours (14 Legs)
Rules
1. There is no fixed start or finish line. You get to choose where the only stipulation is that it must be one of the airports from this list http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/major_US_airports.htm. The start and finish do not have to be the same. Only 2 people may start from the same Airport
2. You must visit as many US Capitols state and federal. State capitols location are in this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_capitols_in_the_United_States

4.For One Leg Only you may travel for 12 hours. if you do this you may only travel for 8 hours on the subsequent leg
5. Routes will be calculated without traffic. To keep it fair to those in different time zones. please include each capitol as a destination in your route
6. Each Leg except leg 14 must end a place of accommodation. If it doesnt exist in google maps you cant stay there
