September 22, 201313 yr Cincinnati to Grayling Michigan 6 times driving an Army deuce and a half @55mph.(top speed) NKY to Daytona, pee breaks only.
September 22, 201313 yr 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. The western half of Kansas on I-70 is awful. I have no idea why anyone choses to live there.
September 22, 201313 yr I have driven from my house to Pueblo, CO, and back numerous times. In a single shot, it takes 19-21 hours. It's about 1150 miles. I now always do it over two days.
September 22, 201313 yr Didn't know you could drive to Hawaii. I just wanted to win a thread for a change....
September 22, 201313 yr Cynthiana to Portland, ME. Made it to Hartford, CT (14 hours) before I had to stop for the night.
September 22, 201313 yr And by far the worst stretch I have ever driven is I-40 entering North Carolina at night. Brutal...
September 22, 201313 yr I hope you mean Louisiana. Los Angeles. Moved out there for a year so there was a little time between trips...
September 22, 201313 yr Longest straight through with me doing all of the driving without stopping for anything except gas Daytona Beach Shores to Somerset 790 miles and Somerset to St Pete Beach 825 Getting ready to go to Destin 620 mi, but I'm not going to have to do much driving on that trip...love having a 21 yo son with new SUV.
September 22, 201313 yr My dad and I drove straight thru from Reno NV to Cincinnati only stopping for bathroom and food. 2200 miles and took us about 35 hours. Two years ago drove Cincinnati to Yellowstone with one overnight stop and I was the only driver.
September 23, 201313 yr Author Didn't know you could drive to Hawaii. Didn't mapquest have those directions at one point?
September 23, 201313 yr Author And by far the worst stretch I have ever driven is I-40 entering North Carolina at night. Brutal... We were lucky this time on that stretch. Both ways we were in that spot around 2am and the traffic was sparse. You know a road is bad when every few miles you see a stretch named after a NC trooper that has passed away during traffic stops. I'd love to know what the elevation is from starting at the TN line. When you are traveling West you really don't even need to use the gas, it's crazy. There is a stretch on I77 from WV to VA that rivals that stretch of I40.
September 23, 201313 yr Austin, TX to Indianapolis, IN with a 15 minute stop to pick something up in Cincy. ALONE. 22 hours. No stops (besides gas / drive-thru). Mid December, was 74 degrees when I left and 27 when I got to Indy.
September 23, 201313 yr NKY to St Pete several times when I was younger with only the cursory gas and restroom breaks. Can't do it anymore, though. Usually overnight south of Macon.
