Not really. Anyone who has taken a "road trip" from the east coast to the west coast.....and gone west "under the Great Lakes" would remember those states.........and then returned via the lower route........say out of Colorado Springs.....back to the east.......would remember those states.
Obviously, this should be a leisurely trip where one has time to discover all the great things about our country............not a race to get their quickly.
We were so impressed the first time we saw THE GREAT PLAINS and could just imagine how the covered wagons traveled across.
Ditto for the Badlands in South Dakota, etc.........
I think a lot more folks than one would suspect, can fill in a map of the United States...........especially all of those in our generation.
Plus, the trend is for all of our adult children "not" to marry the girl next door as in the "olden days" but to meet someone from across the country totally.......and they all relocate for their careers anyway.........so grandparents have to do a lot of traveling nowadays.........
