question on route

my dd and her family are on a trip and so this question is fairly redundant. in a text today she said that
they were having to rethink their goal for the day they were just leaving Carthage Ill at about 4:30 so I asked
where they were headed Dayton Ohio was the answer...this seemed strange to me but I don't know the area
they are headed to North Carolina my granddaughter is stationed in the northern part of NC I believe but don't
recall the name of the base or nearby town....but why would you go from Carthage Ill (which is about center of the state
close to the Mississippi) to go to North Carolina and go that far North...if it was to see more to hit more states perhaps but
know that they are hustling and going on a wing and a prayer so as to speak....oh well it's over they should be in Ohio by now
tucked into their beds but satisfy my curiosity and tell me what way you would have gone...going to ask her tomorrow Why!!! :lol:

Sheila,
I did a quick Mapquest route, and the route shown does go thru Dayton, OH. Wide view of the map, shows that Dayton is south of Carthage, so looks to me like they may be on the quickest route.

North Carolina is south of Illinois and Ohio. Except maybe the far southern tip of Illinois. She's planned correctly. :)
