I think there is a problem with the move from New York to New Jersey. The New York border with Vermont is longer, at about 166 miles. I see that you use the State Border Set for the lengths of the borders. This states that the NY/VT border is 80.3 miles. This is clearly wrong. I measure it to be approximately 173 miles using Garmin Mapsource. Anyway, it is clearly longer than the border between NY and NJ which is the answer that you used. You used a usually reliable source...unfortunately this time it wasn't so reliable:( Since this move occurs about 2/3'rds of the way through your journey, it appears that you should redo everything that follows. BTW, I checked out several other questionable (to me) moves and they all seemed correct.

Please ignore my comment about the NY/VT border being 166 miles long. I took this initial measurement at a more zoomed-out level on my mapping product. Once I zoomed in and took into account a few border jogs I got the higher number of 173 miles.
