It doesn't seem logical that they actually made it anywhere near NH. They were reported missing from Springfield/Topsham. Then they're found in East Hancock? So they drove like 300 miles southwest, then turned around and drove back 250 miles northeast? I mean, I suppose it's plausible, but it really weird.

The originally left Topsham, headed to the Maine Mall, but ended up lost in Massachusetts. Family tried guiding them over the phone but they ended up lost in Exeter, NH.

They called the police who tried to guide them back to Maine, and the next day they had driven clear across the state up to Springfield.

From there, they tried to get south again, but ended up in East Hancock.

Potentially silly question: which Springfield? There's one in every state they visited.

They were proving that you, indeed, can't get there from here.

To be fair, if they ended up anywhere near Boston and tried to get off the highway and turn around… their infrastructure is almost designed to make you lost so… and then NH has even worse road signage.

Springfield and Topsham are hours from each other. You might be confusing Topsham with Topsfield, which IS near Springfield. (For that matter, maybe they were confusing that, too.)
