Talk:Dead Zone/@comment-1781513-20180614213747

The beginning of this article perplexes me... it states that New York is not far off from Washington, DC. New York and Washington, DC are roughly 225 miles apart. And if we consider that the Dead Zone is a desert wasteland, that would considerably slow down travel... a Google Maps search says the 225 mile trek, on foot, from Tondc to New York would take 76 hours and even include a ferry trip. Slow that down with desert travel and the lack of an operable ferry, and you're looking at a significantly longer journey. On horseback it would be a little quicker, but still a long, hard journey from Tondc to New York. It doesn't really make sense.
