re: Longest and Farthest Trip

dream trip is the Alaska Highway from north of Seattle up thru Canada to Fairbanks AK.. 1400 miles of rugged beautiful scenery .

My brother drove to Washington state and caught a ferry to Ankoridge when he moved from New Orleans to Anchorage.

About 10 years ago, my parents did one of the Alaskan river cruises that featured some great scenery.

As a kid, I was a passenger in my parents 69 Buick Wildcat, pulling a camper, from Vidalia, LA to Denver. We camped every night except for four or five we spent visiting relatives in Arkansas, Missouri and Denver.

I drove from Farmerville, LA to Denver by myself to work construction one summer. Stayed overnight in Amarillo on a night a tornado came thru. The speedometer on my car wasn't working for the whole drive.

San Fransisco to Dallas could have been the longest.
The guy I bought coke from in the 80s wanted me to fly to San Fransisco and drive back with a kilo of product. I declined his offer to clear my $600 debt and pay me $1000. I told him I had watched too many episodes of Miami Vice. The truth is I was afraid police would find me dead in some cheap Texas motel with .99 kilograms of coke, an ash tray, and half a pack of Marlborough Lights on the bed or next to the tub next to me.
