Current Events > What's the longest road trip, you've ever driven?

(+) Yeah! (+)

like across a couple states or something?

When I was about 12, my mom, me, my brother and grandma drove from ohio to Georgia to see my older brother.

Second longest was from ohio to Kentucky, I enjoyed that one much better My mom drove both times

Well I don't drive but if riding counts

When I was 10 my family moved from PA to WA state, and we went by car

And 5 years ago something similar, but it was from WA state to Alaska. Went up through BC and Yukon

St Louis to Hilton Head.

Never drove myself a distance like this yet, but I have road from south carolina to connecticut a few times since a bit of my dad's family is up that way/my oldest sister still stays up north.

Kind of a boring trip as a kid since in the early 90s all I had was a gameboy to keep me occupied and when it got dark I could only play for like 5 seconds everytime we passed a street light, lol =/

5 hours

did you have problem changing your tire?

we Drove on all our family vacations as a kid. Wed drive from Texas to Pennsylvania every other year.

once we drove from Texas to Maine.

but on my own as an adult, Ive driven Texas to Florida and Texas to Colorado many times. When you live in Texaslong roads arent a big deal since youre used to driving a shit ton anyways

Dallas to Seattle and back, over a couple of weeks.

Alberta to Disneyland (through montana etc) and back up the California coast, through Oregon, Washington, BC, home.

In one day around 14 hours.

As a whole trip I went 10,000 miles from upstate NY to socal and back by myself in 2016. The aforementioned 14 hours was part of that as I passed through the Midwest.

In one day, 10 hours. To St. Louis, and then back again that night-- and I was the only one awake the next morning when we got back.

Was amazing. Both going and coming from.

From basically DC to Miami while I was in college.

At that time driving and distance it's better to just buy a plane ticket imo.

6-7 hours.

I used to make an 1100 mile drive four times a year going from where I grew up to where I was going to college. On both ends of summer break and both ends of winter break. It took me two days and I got pretty good at it. Gained an appreciation for audio books. The Hobbit was a favorite and Id usually listen to that once a year (LotR did not work well). Also, Stephen King short stories worked out really well.

About 6.5 hours each way as a driver, about 12 hours each way as a passenger.

Dry season at the Bering Strait?

I've driven Rhode Island to California, and California to Rhode Island a couple of times. First was when I moved out to California.

Uhhhhh, I've done a lot of roadtrips:

Canadian/US tour with a band. Montreal to Vancouver, then down to Medford Oregon to Jamestown NY and back to Montreal.

Vancouver to San Diego.

Roadtripped all of Costa Rica.

Roadtripped in Ecuador, starting in Quito, to Guayaquil, Riobamba, then to the Amazon and back to Quito.

Probably the tour with the band was the longest one, however.

I wasnt the one driving, but around 8 hours across multiple states.

There is a new version of The Hobbit audio, read by Andy Serkis on Audible. Its pretty good

By myself would be Jacksonville, Fl to Suffolk, VA

Milwaukee to San Francisco, then Seattle.
Road trip with by buddy back in 2009, I think.

Went to Bonnaroo music festival in tennessee 7 years in a row, which is a 10 hour drive

Me driving, 6 hours to San Diego and Las Vegas. Not driving when I was a kid we went from Arizona to Missouri for a family thing and that was like more than a days drive.

Toronto Ontario Canada to Orlando Florida USA

as a driver? 2 hours. I don't like driving long on the highway

as a passenger, about 12 hours from MA to Virginia when I was a kid

I did a 3 week cross country road trip last month.

Tennessee to Wisconsin.

Longest road trip where I've driven is Tennessee to South Carolina

15 hours to Denver

2400 km there, 2400 km back

Northern Illinois to Central Florida, twice. Once we were in a Uhaul and took 3 days taking our time and because of a late start on day one. The second time no uhaul, straight through only stopping for gas, food and bathroom, 23 hours. Won't do that again, it sucked.

Single drive was probably about 15 hours from PA to South Carolina. I've done PA to North Carolina plenty of times for work, but that's only about 9 hours.

Orange County CA to Reno NV, got pulled over on the way back and given a fix it ticket for window tint by CHP.

Bay Area to Las Vegas. About 9hr drive. But it was like 12hr back due to traffic.

Boston to San Diego which was about 3,000 miles. Took me 4 days I think.

2,000 km or thereabouts

The longest I've driven solo is Virginia Beach to DC, but I've driven in a rotation from Virginia Beach to Canada

16 hour drive to Mexico

SoCal to Montana or Idaho through a tiny part of Canada. I've also had road trips from SoCal to Utah, Colorado, and I think Wyoming.

I've also flown to Texas, Alabama (had to land there because of a storm in Georgia), and Georgia, all from SoCal. Once I flew from North Carolina to SoCal with a layover in Texas.

I dont care for road trips, but when I was a kid I was suckered into going to Denver and Mount Rushmore from the southwestern US to Ohio.

drove from bay area california to dallas texas. then later from texas to miami. then back all the way to california.

solo dolo. lovely experience i have to say. drove straight through on no sleep. things got really weird around 16 hours consecutively

Id have to look at the miles between Johannesburg and Mala Mala game reserve. That wasnt so much of a road trip. I landed in Johannesburg and we drove to Mala Mala and it felt like forever. Me and 7 other exchange students in a Toyota van for 2 days in South Africa was one hell of a trip. I spent 6 weeks there and the drive to Mala Mala felt like it took forever.

I imagine my family road trip from Michigan to Arizona was a longer drive but Im not sure. We stopped all over the place for 3 weeks.

As far as me driving, my wife and I have gone from NW Ohio to the Smoky Mountains a few times, but I think St Louis is farther maybe? I did that once.

As far as just being a passenger, when I was a little kid we went from NW Ohio to Garden of the Gods in Colorado. I think about two days of driving one way? I forget exactly how long it took, this wouldve been 35+ years ago.
