Why not hitch hike?

I was just on Google Maps trying to figure out how long it would take to drive from Vacaville California back home to Gilbert (reasons to come in later post). As I was perusing the page I came upon a button that lets you choose your transportation 1) by car or 2) walking. For kicks and giggles I switched from "by car" to walking and almost fell over laughing. If I were to walk from Vacaville California, a drive that lasts about 12 hours, it would take me 12 days and 16 hours to get home. They even had a warning saying that we should use caution – "This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths." Didn't surprise me, half of it was through national parks and preserves.
