What's the longest road trip you've ever taken?

Savannah -> UP Michigan -> Whitefish, MT -> Puget Sound -> Portland -> Whitefish, MT

Basically when I moved here. But I've taken tons of long road trips... just recently got back from doing a long oval down to Wyoming, Steamboat, Kansas, Nebraska, Black Hills, and back to Whitefish. All in 5 days, solo.

As a kid I went in a road trip from Baton Rouge to Washington state.
A friends dad was moving up there for a temporary work assignment so we rode with him and the mom. Web wrata through Texas and in the 2nd night stayed in Lake Havashoo (sp) Nevada. Did a night each at Vegas, Tahoe, and Yosemite, as well as a few smaller places. Flew back home after staying up there for a few weeks.
My family traveled very little so it was quite an amazing trip for me.

Road trips when we were kids almost every summer.
The longest few, all from Cenla, we've driven to Key West, Alpena, MI, spent a few weeks going up the East Coast, ended up in Northern Maine, crossed the Canadian border just to say we did.

Lafayette to San Diego. Houston west to the TX border is

Longest one day drives are from Atlanta to Dallas and from Victoria, TX to Atlanta. Those were rough.

Most miles in one direction just stopping to sleep - drove Atlanta -> Paducah, KY -> Lincoln, NE -> Cheyenne, WY for Frontier Days in 2006. That trip then extended out for a week or so to Denver, Bryce Canyon, Vegas, and Grand Canyon. Return trip home was Williams, AZ -> Albuquerque, NM -> Ft. Smith, AR -> Atlanta.

Next Month Im doing

St Louis -> Denver -> Calgary -> Banff -> Vancouver -> seattle -> Portland -> Las vegas -> St Louis.

When I was in college, me and 3 buddies did a pretty epic trip (and pretty stupid at the same time). Left Murfreesboro TN, drove to NOLA, then all the way across Texas all the way to Los Angeles. Then we headed east to Vegas and finally back to Murfreesboro TN.

We did stops on:
Bourbon Street for like 2 hours
The Alamo in San Antonio
A decent detour to Junction, TX (ESPN was showing the Junction Boys series at the time and we wanted to see what the place looked like) - do not recommend that
Slept for like 5 hours in a Howard Johnson in Tucson
Spent the night at a friends house in LA and drove up to the Hollywood hills
Spent the night at what was then called the Barbary Coast in Vegas
Saw the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon the next day.
Drove straight back with no stops following those. Everybody just took 4 hour turns driving until we were back.


All in all it was like 4700 miles in 5 days/nights. I could never do it again but I'll never forget it.

I did a road trip last summer between jobs. 6600 miles.

I drove from New Orleans to Lubbock, TX to Boulder, CO to Sheridan, WY to Yellowstone to Glacier National Park to Coeur de A'lende, ID to Spokane, WA to Hood, OR to Redding, CA to San Francisco to LA to Southern New Mexico to Austin and back to NOLA. Took a little over two weeks.

Left one afternoon around Columbia, SC and drove to Charleston, WV and back the same night. Around 14 hours altogether. Longest in one direction was about 10 hours from N. GA to Charlotte, NC to Elkins, WV.

Dude..that sounds like such a ridiculous road trip

I'm sure it's fun to look back on, but that's so much driving. Driving all the way to Los Angeles to stay for one night
