32 hrs from madisonville to a small town in Montana to hunt. Only stops for gas and food. 36hrs on way back due to driving thru a blizzard at 2am with a 2wd suburban. Dumbest thing I’ve ever done. Should also mention, this was with 3 other dudes so we drove in shifts

Drove from Mandeville to Tampa to watch the Saints lose.

Planned on spending the night, but I was so pissed that I just drove straight back while my wife slept.

I've driven several different 14 hour so drives. Worst one was I went from Charlotte NC to Freeport Illinois. I got up that morning and things came up so I didn't get to leave until about 4 in the afternoon and drove overnight. I was getting really tired so it slowed me down. I bought a loaf of bread and ate just that and kept getting hungry. I was so tired and hungry I would shake at times, and I kept seeing things. All that kept slowing me down. I finally made it there around noon and I had been up about 30 hours straight at that point. I had a couple people riding with me, but I didn't want to let them drive any. I'd just bought the van (a Dodge Caravan with 300,000 miles) two days before for $100. It only had brakes on two wheels so I didn't trust anyone else to drive.

Las Vegas to Baton Rouge (1654 miles) with about an hour stop at the creater near Winslow, AZ.

I got to Port Barre and looked at my friend and said I could make it to Pensacola, FL.

Dropped him off about 2pm. He took a nap and headed to Hooters around 8PM where I was sitting at the bar drinking a beer. I had yet to make it home.

Add me to the list of Denver to Baton Rouge. I was so tired I was hallucinating. The girl I was with learned how to drive a manual transmission the hard way and take over for me while I grabbed a power nap in the middle of it.

Of course it doesn't help that we were smoking weed the entire time.

Baton Rouge to Indianapolis for Final 4. Roughly 12 hours maybe.

It was an extremely last minute decision to go so had to drive through the night go get there.

New Orleans to El Paso


That's painful.

I did San Antonio to Santa Fe solo after a several-hour mediation in SA, with only gas stops, and almost went full psychotic.

Baton Rouge to Denver, but it was with a friend and we swapped every fuel stop. Would not have wanted to do that alone.

In a day - 700ish miles from Evanston WY to Grand Island NE
Non stop - Evanston WY to about Cheyenne WY (450ish miles)

Both in the same day, Wyoming is a very large state and I was trying to outrun a snowstorm/blizzard that was moving east.
