When is it considered "connected"?

That shot is looking pretty connected all the way from California up to Washington. The highway is forming and fish are being caught in Oregon already. The Washington guys are going to do some prospecting this week. We might get into some Juna this year .

You need to look at the night time shots and non composite shots to get a clear picture of how the highway is forming. Unfortunately there has been quite a bit of cloud cover and no good shots as of late. With the nicer weather coming later this week we should be able to get a better picture of things.
