If I'm reading between the lines correctly, 4-corners isn't going to work for anyone that tries for KW on leg three. The capital bonii must increase exponentially tomorrow.
They don't have to increase exponentially. They may, but it could simply be that there are so many State Capitols many miles from the base route, that there could be 5 or 6 carrying 1000 point each.
It seems that the best route was likely to have been to grab Oregon and Blaine early, mop up the northern States and get Madawaska on Leg 1. Then down the Eastern seaboard grabbing Key West on Leg 2. On Leg 3 a route that gets all those southern and western State Capitols that will carry high points, finishing with San Ysidro for the 4 Corners.
Alaska was the sucker bonus, but not so sucky for anyone who could get it, with Oregon on Leg 1, then get both Madawaska and Key West on Leg 2. If they had any energy left they would be as free as anyone to get the big Capitols on Leg 3, and they wouldn't need many.
So now I want to know where Peek and Meese are, and whether or not the four hour delay has screwed Ken Meese.
