Also towing my Explorer. Before the days of smartphones. With only an AM/FM radio.

Once dropped my Mom and Dad off at Baton Rouge Metro Airport, then drove 12 hours straight with 3 kids in the car to pick up my Mom and Dad at Orlando airport with perfect timing as their flight had just arrived.

Did that once... Houston to Los Angeles in a UHaul towing a car. Before smart phones, I had borrowed my Mom's cell phone for the trip just in case, but it didn't get service for most of the drive.

Wasn't solo though, was helping a friend move out there.

2,200+ miles.

Left at 5pm PST and arrived in Louisiana early Sunday AM.

Felt like shite for a week.

Birmingham, AL to Fergus Falls, MN. With the construction delays (especially in Wisconsin) and gas stops it took a little under 20 hours. I was about punch drunk by the time I got there.

I have driven from Los Angelos to BR. I live on ephedra, energy drinks, and only stopped to get gas.

It was rough

I have also done Key West to BR. Also rough



Drove br to California by myself, but I had this bizarre idea to stop in a hotel room for the night

You wouldn't want to drive more than about 1200 miles by yourself without stopping. Starts getting unsafe at a certain point.

Drove from Hammond to White County, Arkansas every 2 weeks back in '08 when I was working on drilling rigs. I think it was close to 10 hours

About 450 miles, from Vermilion Parish to Fort Worth. I know it wasn't as far as some of you, but I didn't mind the drive.

Very much this. My ride from B'ham to Fergus Falls was just shy of 1,300 miles. To be honest I should have pulled over somewhere around the Wisconsin /Minnesota line and got a room. Looking back, going all the way non-stop like that was one of the dumbest things I've ever done.
