Erm, somewhere in the Nothern half of the US. I'm guessing norther Oregon, Southern Washington or maybe somewhere in Wisconsin or Michigan.
ObUselessGeographyLesson: East/West numbered high/free-ways in the US are even numbered. North/South are odd numbered. They are numbered low-to-high from south-to-north and west-to-east. So I-84 is up north somewhere. If he gave an odd numbered Interstate you could pretty much peg his state if not city by the numbers alone without once looking at a map. For example I-5 and I-80 would mean N.California (Sacramento, to be precise) as I-5 is N/S on the west coast (low numbered) and I-80 is E/W above the middle of the nation. :)
