re: What's the longest car trip you've taken

I've driven from NOLA to CHI more times than I can recall. That's about 900 miles each way. Nowadays that's about a 13 hour drive one way averaging 70 mph.
On one trip long ago, I hit snow right upon entering IL (which is over 400 miles of the trip from entering IL to CHI). Took 18 hours total, only driver. Cars with IL license plates were crashed everywhere. I thought to myself, WTF am I doing driving in the snow when these people apparently can't.
Worst road trip ever.
Made it safe though.

My BIL is from Chicago. He drives BR to Chi at least once a year. He has left during winter storms...doesn't bother him. I think any drive over 4 hours is too long.

A friend of mine and I drove straight from Los Angeles to Austin. Pretty brutal.
Also drove from B.R. to Morgantown West Virginia -- that one just about fried my brain and is the reason I will never drive longer than 8 hours at a stretch.
