I've been known to drive on forever. I used to drive San Diego to Chicago
in less than 36hours and that's with a six hour stop for a bit of sleep.
That's approximately 2200 miles. San Diego to San Antonio in under 24hours
with time out for site seeing the last 100 miles in small towns along
I-10...that's approximately 1400-1600 miles, slightly longer than the
distance from Seattle to San Diego, which I drove in less than 36hours
with a stop over in Oregon before tackling the rest of the way to SD.
That's also driving through LA, which is about 2hours of it's own. Oh, and
I was the only driver, accept for the SD-Chicago trip...got lots of
stories about passing state troopers in the middle of the night, like the
one who must have been sleeping and didnt notice me go by him at 120mph or
maybe he just didn't believe anyone would dare to drive that fast...
