September 22, 201313 yr When I was working, several times I left from Maysville at 5 or so in the evening and drove to St. Augustine, getting there early the next morning. 840 miles; stopped for gas twice each time. Always felt like I was getting an extra day of vacation that way, even if I did need a couple of catnaps that first day. Sleep is overrated.
September 22, 201313 yr Maysville,KY to Joplin, MO. Stopped once for gas/bathroom and zipped in and out once for drive thru food.
September 22, 201313 yr Any drive that has required me to go north on I-71. Gotta be the most boring stretch of road in the history of roads. I've never been out to Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc., so I'll take your word that it's boring for around here. I used to drive the Bluegrass Parkway a lot. I thought that was the most boring stretch of road anywhere nearby. Until I had to drive the Western Kentucky Parkway a few times. Made the BG Parkway look like the Vegas Strip.
September 22, 201313 yr SubBase New London CT to Sunfish KY (in Edmonson County), by myself, straight through, stopping only for gas, food, and restroom breaks
September 22, 201313 yr I make the 10 hour trip back to Delaware a couple of times a year, usually once by myself. When I was a teenager, my parents twice drove the family from Delaware to Los Angeles. 3 1/2 days of driving, one way. I think we stopped and spent nights in Arkansas and New Mexico.
September 22, 201313 yr One way, 6 times a year, for 12 years , Indianapolis to Palm Beach, 1124 miles i n 19 to 22 hours, 2 drivers. In our seventies, We now stop overnight.. My parents and five kids, oldest 18, youngest 10, drove to California from Indiana on Rt 66 in a 57 Chevy in 1958. 4 Drivers in 41 hours. My dad taught me to be a rolling stone, I guess.
September 22, 201313 yr Saginaw Mich to Fort Walton Beach FL and St. Pete FL to Frankfort KY. I was whopped both times...Now I stop for an overnight in Spartansburg SC trying to get to Myrtle Beach, I can't do it anymore and it's not worth it anyway. It waste the 1st day.
