Birmingham to Key West


It's really difficult to comprehend, even today, that BHM to Key West is the exact same as BHM to NYC. Getting somewhere one state over can be same as getting somewhere 8 states over. In my 20's, friends and I would drive to NYC once a year, and Key West once a year.

My longest non-stop is BHM to Missoula with 4 people @ 32 hrs. Longest solo probably only 10 hours BHM to Chicago.

That's a beautiful area. I bet that drive was worth it

Yes it is. I spent the summer up there after the drive. I was helping a family member with multiple vehicles move.

Omaha to San Fran. Hit Salt Lake City and the Moab, Denver, somewhere in Wyoming I can’t remember, down through the Redwood National Forest.

Prolly ended up being some 1800+ miles.

Augusta Georgia to Whidby Island, WA. 2800 miles. Have done Augusta to Carlsbad New Mexico and the other way several times. 1400 each way. Have done that non-stop in the motor home. Not fun.

Mine isn't as long as everyone's, but ZFG. I figured that everyone on OT has driven 24 hours straight. I drove from Grand Junction to Los Angeles. As a passenger/child, my family drove from Los Angeles to Southern Indiana, stopping at the Grand Canyon, then going through Durango, Colorado, then up to I-70.

During some difficult times, I had an older man take care of me, and we went on a few cross country drives.

Didn't do any long distance driving; you are aware that a "trip" does not reset unless you do it, right?

Assumed that not to be the case, in that why would he have a random shot of the trip log of a bunch of short city driving hops.

Shitty Mileage made me think semi, as modern ones can hit that at extreme upper edge with care and long cruises.

On the other hand, imagine there are no automatic semis
