why do they do this?

nope.
look at the order of the states, and see if you can figure out why they might be doing it in that sequence.

It's becuase the live in a trailer, and happen to follow some circus back and forth so they can pick up the discarded ice cream waffles, popcorn and cotton candy.

You must have the patience of a saint!! Have you been holed up for the past year trying to figure out the solution? 😉

Is someone outside of the US going to know the answer to this? Nothing to do with a boardgame or something like that??

monopoly® is the right answer!!
look at the board and you will see that the streets named after states are in that order.
