As you can see it runs from the edge of Wisconsin and enters into Iowa. Google Maps lists it as a 239 mile trip, which is a little over a four hour drive. If you still remember the ideas that have been thrown around for the "Interstate 151" drinking game, this should put the fear of God into you. You see, Yagsalvania is a fictional place with an arbitrary travel time, thus allowing someone either one hour, or as long as fifteen hours to get there if they so choose. Route 151 is an actual stretch of highway with actual speed limits that must be obeyed. If the (newly named) Route 151 drinking game were to be played, competitors would be required to do x amount of shots in under four hours. It's a truly extreme game, and not too far off from actually speeding down a highway, considering those who were to aim for even a three hour completion time might run the risk of being arrested, injured, or killed.
Because I don't talk enough about Yagsalvania on this blog, I think it's also worth recapping the mythos of its location. Here's what we know about Yagsalvania:
- It's near the fictional Yee-Haw County, Georgia, and is usually entered by jumping vehicles off a large ramp.
- It's also near the fictional small town of Yagton. The two are only separated by about 30km.
- It's been said to exist in Florida.
- Route 151 runs along Yagsalvania, though those who enter Yagsalvania don't necessarily take that path.
Given all these facts, there are conflicting accounts as to where Yagsalvania is exactly. It could very well be in Florida, as it is next to the state of Georgia, and one could jump a car into the town with a large enough ramp. However, with this new evidence shedding light on the fact that Route 151 runs through Wisconsin and Iowa, Yagsalvania's exact location is now up to about as much interpretation as Springfield.

Why does it have to be in the U.s.?
Because it is a mythos, you can't question it , it just is what it is.
Yagsalvania's location isn't really as important as the actual trip one takes to get there.
It is very lotr esque in that way.
Which begs the question why we don't get a wizard to teleport us to Yagselvania.
The only wizard we know lives in Port Swordedge, and we all know what going to that town would entail.
I think going to port swordedge would involve actually manufacturing a close facsimile of dwarven flotae and imbibing that.
I guess it could be kind of a tequilla and worm situation where we wouldn't have to eat the mushrooms so much with the beer, as at the end.
Seriously we should see how much it would take to brew up a batch at one of those brew your own beer places.
For around 23L. it's like $135.00 + cost of mushrooms + tax. That's more than just buying a keg, plus the effort. I guess on the positive side, once you already own the brewing kit, that cuts the cost by 63%.
Why do they always teleport??
=P
when your a wizard, you can't just go schlepping from place to place, and you always have a dearth of spells that aid in locomotion.
I mean it doesn't have to be teleport, it could be wind walk, or freedom of movement, invisible steed, hell just using major or minor creation to make some form of epic conveyance.
Lol!
