Thank you Randy Olson for sharing your code for computing the Optimal Road Trip Across the US – http://www.randalolson.com/2015/03/08/computing-the-optimal-road-trip-across-the-u-s/
I used Randy’s information to create the Optimal Road Trip with a Boat Across Texas – http://engineeress.com/major-lakes-TX.html
So, hitch the boats; let’s get on the road!
