why?
because
according to this,

only 4 of them
go anywhere
near the thruway.

according to this,
Katie said
she was on the road

so, of the 4
you can get to
off the highway,
one is only an hour
from the city.
2 are 5 hours
away, minimum.
the only other one
is just east of here.
it's about 1/2 a mile
away from the next exit.

say something?
