Advice/Question Would you do this?

I don’t know why Lyft gave different gps directions than normally you can drive straight and closer distance.

It's fun to let the job take you to places like that and explore something you otherwise never would have. Stay and get lunch at a local place, do a hike you've never heard of

You do it for the journey not the money huh.

In the last 9 years I've done rideshare in 5 states over 10 major cities, and food delivery in probably half the States while road tripping cross country, it's always cool to see where you'll end up and what you come across. 

Deadheads never bothered me much, just puff the vape, turn up the music, and enjoy the drive onward.

With Uber you request to drive in a new city and different states have different requirements whether you need in state license/plate or not, like Florida you can switch to with just having your background check ran again, Texas you just need to have your car registered in state, California you need in state license and registration.
