Congratulations, you got me. The Appalachians don't go all the way across the entire North American continent. I apologize for daring to make such a suggestion.

To be fair, I initially wanted to comment about how clever you were because even most Americans would forget about the Ozarks being in the way, but then I checked a map and realized they were too far west.

I only see one location in OPs screenshot. How do we know where this is coming from or going to?

There are two locations: Fort Wayne, IN and an unspecified point in the ocean. Of the paths between Fort Wayne and an ocean, the ones people are most likely to think of (e.g. from the Atlantic or the Pacific) involve crossing mountains, but others (e.g. from the Gulf of Mexico or Hudson Bay) do not.

I guess I was not thinking of Hudson Bay as “the ocean” lol
