Last week I left Prairieville at 3pm and arrived at my destination in Kansas at 6am. Longest I've driven in one shot.

Goddamn, have any of you people heard of airplanes? For what reason would you choose to drive two days or more rather then fly? Trafficking/addicted to drugs? I love a road trip and all but anything much over 20ish hours is getting silly.

1994 - Tuscaloosa to Freeport Maine. (LL Bean)

One summer during college. Nonstop up there. Stopped a couple nights on the way back. I think it was about 2100 miles round trip.

When I moved to Alaska about 2 years ago.

Baton Rouge to Ft.Worth
Ft.Worth to Dumas,TX
Dumas to Denver
Denver to Jackson Hole,WY.
Jackson Hole to Boise,ID.
Boise to Eugene,OR.
Eugene to Bellingham,WA.
Bellingham by ferry to Haines,AK
Haines to Haines Jct, Yukon Canada.
Haines Jct. to Tok,AK.
Tom to Anchorage.

Got it done in a little over two weeks.

Only extended stays were a weekend in Jackson Hole and 2 days in Bellingham waiting for the ferry.

27 years ago, South Texas to Oregon, 2000 miles - 36 hrs straight in a 1 ton crew truck with no A/C. Don't ever plan on trying to top that.

drove back from houston to new orleans non stop, that was a long drive but about as far as i think i would drive without a rest break and maybe a nap at rest area.

i would plan 16 hour first day then stay overnight at hotel and do the 10 hour on the second day when you will be more tired.

expect to be really tired and dragging arse the next day after getting there too so plan accordingly

When I was around 10 years old Dad took us to Washington state via Mexico (I drank the water, got sick, shite the camper, sat on a shite pot between two seats in the van), Arizona (Grand Canyon), up the coast of California (Redwood trees), Oregon (crashed my bike, my brother almost put my dad's eye out with a clothes line) Washington (fishing, baseball, fireworks, cooked pig in the ground). On the way back we hit Colorado (I recall Pikes peak and the continental divide)

Me driving: Greenwood, MS to Lexington, KY... Going to Charleston, SC next week. I think it’s a little farther.

Me riding: Miles City, MT to Mississippi 3 or 4 times when I was a kid. My family owned a custom harvest business when I was a kid, so a lot of my childhood summers were spent from Oklahoma to Montana.
