How far have you driven in one shot? - Page 5

My best in each direction:

Camden NJ to Parsboro, Nova Scotia.
Camden NJ to Miami.
Camden NJ to Atlantic City
Camden NJ to west of the Mississippi @ La Crosse, WI.

All were done in one shot, beer and pot, no stimulants.
AC was done without stopping at any traffic signals.

The good old days. But I've reformed (mostly).

Orlando, Fl nonstop to Brooklyn, NY. Only stopped for food, gas and bathroom breaks. The strongest stimulant I had was coffee. This was before Red Bull was available.
And no I would not do it again.

Plymouth IN to Lancaster PA (11 painful hours) solo leaving after a wedding reception (day began with an eightsome playing nine holes at 5:30 AM)

Clemson SC to Lancaster PA (10 ridiculous hours) as a passenger, one five-minute fuel/bathroom stop. From the morning after a Panthers' game back in time for a rec soccer game.

Bloomington IN to Lancaster PA (11 hours) solo with a few meal/gas stops. This was the trip in which I learned the beauty of audiobooks. They pass the time much faster than music.

Lancaster PA to Chapel Hill NC and back (8-9 hours) driving a 12-passenger van full of HS girls to and from basketball camp. Trip there was painfully loud. Return trip was much better--they were all too exhausted to be rowdy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm going to Bloomington this weekend, but now that I'm not a poor young man, I'm flying. I'll never do another 10-hour drive in my life.

I've made the Atlanta - Miami run many a time. Did Atlanta - Houston once, all I can say is its longer than it looks. When I was a kid in 1972, my old man packed the family up and moved us from Philly to Miami. We had to "beat the moving van." Insurrection finally occured around Vero Beach. I think my sister made herself throw up so we could stop. The moving van got there two days later.

No kidding.

310, live, cut the corner on a 350 yd par 4 and had a shortish pitch to the green. Nowdays I'm happy if it gets over 250. Must hit gym.

I also drove straight from Washington, DC to Panama City, FL for spring break. I left around 9PM and drove all night, fueled by ephedrine. THAT I recall as being dangerous for sure.

I did Geneva, NY to Panama City Beach for Spring Break one year, too. Although, I did it with three others and we made stops along the way down there. The way back we did it straight through in 18 hours. We did driving shifts though, the hardest part was not killing someone in the car with you after a week of hanging out and then being in a car 18 hours with them.
