I'm up late because I have insomnia. I get bored. So I am curious. What's the longest drove you have done where you were the only one doing the driving?

 

I've done a few. Bakersfield, CA to Eglin AFB, FL which is about 2200 miles. Took 3 days of driving but I stopped for sleep in Phoenix, AZ and San Antonio, TX. Also have done that trip back to California. Same stops.

 

I did another drive which I feel was longer. I did a drive from home of Bakersfield California to Duchense, Utah and back in 36 hours. Its about 800 miles one way. Lack of sleep made it feel long.

Calgary, Alberta to Maniwaki, Quebec.

 

2006 DMax regular cab, 2WD hauling 28 foot enclosed tailer with 2004 Subara WRX rally car, fuel, tires, tools, about 12,000#. Auxiliary fuel tank gives 800 mile range

 

Left Wednesday noon, slept couple hours in Kenora, arrived Friday at 15:00. Prepped car , got to bed 02:00. Saturday, serviced the car for the kids' rally team, after rally loaded up and left Saturday night 24:00, arrived Calgary, Monday 16:00 (freezing rain, chains from Kenora to Winnipeg) Back to work Tuesday.....

 

Enjoy it when they just want you to tie their skates.....

Yea I haven't done any of my long drives towing. Normally a 2-3 he drive one way with an 18 ft horse trailer. My longest tow was the boat in my sig. That was 4 hours to the campsite one way. Then a 6 hour drive home. I had to cut north for school and then after school a 3 hour tow home

Drove from Goldsboro NC to Wichita Falls Tx for some schooling while in the Air Force. Made one stop at Little Rock Ar. Did this drive twice, once in my 93 GMC Sonoma and again in my 02 Silverado. One was for training on the GE F110 jet engine and the other was for crash investigation.

Damn so you know my pain with the cross country drive. But one stop. That sucks. I did one stop from Ogden Utah to here in California. 800 miles and 1 stop. That was hard to do

It was a 14hr drive from here to Little Rock. Not bad really. I-40 is a pretty nice drive on this side of the Mississippi, it got boring from there on out to Oklahoma City.

Two weeks ago, made a drive to Arlington,TX from SC, making my midway stop through Nashville,TN where my dad lives. Helps to split the drive and the military doesn't allow over 8hrs at a time......
