1,000 miles, 13-plus hours

22 hours. must have been about 1,500 miles or so. ugh. not again.

 

Albuquerque to Carlsbad, NM. Normally not bad, but it was at night during a blinding snowstorm. Who knew it snowed like that in New Mexico? At 25 miles per hour it took about eight hours.

 

State College, PA => Fort Lauderdale, FL. Ah, spring break ...

 

Wow, my longest is pretty weak....I went from Arlington, VA to Maine and back, but it's only 500ish miles one-way.

 

St. Joe, Mo., to Buffalo, Wyoming -- 1,157 miles, according to Google. Stopped at the Corn Palace, The Badlands, Wall Drug and Mt. Rushmore.

Did that with a pregnant wife who was puking every 200 miles, or so. Took about 18 hours.

 

corky, pennsy is nowhere near as wretched as utah south to north in the back of a greyhound. it's like that state never ends.

 

Toronto to Tampa, 24 hours, two of us driving in shifts.

Halifax to Toronto, 1900 km (1100 miles), solo--three years ago.

 

Phoenix to north of Oklahoma City, I cracked 1,000 that day.

The next day I finished the drive off with a quick jaunt up to Minnepolis, 740 miles or so miles and I was done at 6 p.m.

I have also done Phoenix to Dallas which was over a 1,000, but I did not have to follow that up with a second day.

I used to work at a country club in Arizona, and one of our side jobs was driving a member's car from his summer home to Phoenix or taking it from Phoenix to his summer home.

 

Whilst I was at Mizzou I did Columbia to Clemson (who knows how long.. but we did stop off at the JD distillery); and Columbia to Austin. Nothing like some Missourian love at 10 cents a mile.

Since then, it was probably Augusta to home in Central IL. It's a long drive on its own. Even longer considering it was the day after a buddy's wedding and I had a massive gin & tonic hangover.

All I can say is, God bless the Varsity and the greasy food within.

 

Billings, Mont., to Chicago.

1,247 miles, 18 hours.

 

Nice.

 

belle fourche, s.d., to south bend, in. -- according to google maps, 1,062 miles. 16 hours.
