Is this a reference I'm just not getting?

I found a map for Superstition Highway:

Does this have anything to do with the song?

AXR (empty) Posted Jun 17, 2005
sorry
... I don't know anything about any song and it's
also no reference to something important, just to
my little life and a nice time I had.
somehow it came to my mind and with it
some kind of "Fernweh" (LEO says -> "wanderlust" !?!)

LEO is great, isn't it ?
Sollten wir nicht deutsch sprechen hier ?
Shouldn't we speak Gernman here ?

oh, and the discussion says 'having the travel bug' 
Language Thing-German BEGINNERS thread
Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Posted Jun 17, 2005
Fernweh is so subjective...to each person, something else is exotic. To a German, cowboys are exotic, a concept Americans find puzzling.
I think 'Fernweh' is best summed up in the song by Nancy Griffith that starts, 'I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here...'

Du hast vermutlich Recht. Ich hatte noch nie Fernweh, deshalb kann ich nicht viel dazu sagen.
You are probably right.I've never had the travel bug/wanderlust, so I can't comment.

Ich habe eher Heimweh - abe keine Ahnung, wo zuhause ist, dafür bin ich zu oft umgezogen...
I'm more homesick - but I'm not sure where home is, I've moved too often for that...
