Drove from Chicago to Vegas in the middle of winter. We thought we would be "smart" about it and take the southern route through texas, new mexico, and arizona to avoid all the snow. There was an ice storm from the texas/oklahoma border all the way to flagstaff. My driving buddy took my car off an embankment in texas. Fortunately, the car was fine and a texas dept of transportation truck came by shortly after and pulled us off the side of the hill we were stuck on. It took us 33 hours. In arizona, I was hallucinating and thought the reflectors on the side of the road where little people with backpacks. 33 hours doesn't seem like much, but we left after work, so we were awake for much longer.

On the way home, we said f' it and went through colorado, which is much more direct. It took 26 hours, even though it snowed all the way through the rockies.
