re: Longest road trip you’ve taken

For whatever reason, ft leoanardwood MIZ to ft Lee VA. I remember we left MIZ fresh out of basic at 02, we stopped the chartered bus as a PX right after rollout. We all got a chaw and hit a golden corral in Chicago at 13. I remember thinking Chi town seems way out of the way. Made it to Lee 03 next morning, got settled in at 05, wake up 0530 lol. Later I learned we took an elongated route bc we stopped at several restaurants that agreed to give us massive discounts/ stay open late for us. Kudos to them.

Love the ferry, used to work for them.

Anchorage Ak to Albuquerque NM
3600 miles

Corpus Christi to Homer Alaska. With side trips about 15000 miles. typically drove 300 miles per day for 60 day transit. Most expensive gas fill up was 420 $ in northern Canada. Motor home tank took 71 gallons gas at 6$ per gallon

Shreveport to San Francisco. Never again. Unless there's hookers and blow.

I drove from Phoenix to Charlotte.

Baton Rouge to South Padre Island, TX. It took 12 hours.

Fort Bragg to Hammond, LA when I got out of the Army.

Baton Rouge to Portland in the middle of winter


Was epic

By myself:

Amarillo to Houston (9 hrs)
Amarillo to Fayetteville, AR for UF @ Arky (8 hrs)

With others/family:
Michigan to Texas (moving -but we stopped a little along the way)

Amarillo to Minneapolis (moving but hit up OKC, KC, and Des Moines)
