Virginia to Ft. Lauderdale. Non-stop. That was years ago, I would never even want to do that today!

I'm planning this spring to drive from NJ to Charleston, SC to see some relatives. I'm also planning a trip to L.A. but I think I'm gonna just fly out.

In one shot, probably about 800 miles.

I routinely drive WY to WI though, it's about 1000mi, but I do it in two days. Make it easier.

San Francisco to Salem. More than once. It takes me about 7 days each time, though, since I won't drive farther than I can in daylight hours and then stop for the night at, back in the 90's Travelodges along the way; since then Travelodges have gotten too pricey so it's Motel-6's along the way. So, probably technically Provo to North Platte in one stretch.

Boston to DC (not impressive miles, but ....) in 1970 ... in my Dad's '68 LeMans ... stopping once for gas only on the Jersey Turnpike. Never got out of the car. There's no way my bladder would let me get away with that today!

Longest one day was from Grand Prairie, Alberta to Whitehorse, Yukon moving up to Anchorage from Minneapolis in 4 days. Was done in a jam packed 94 YJ Wrangler with my friend and I with no freeway, only 2 lane highway. Kinda want to drive to Glacier National Park/Yellowstone, Tetons, from Mpls for a vacation ,but the drive through western MN, ND, and eastern MT makes me not ever want to do it again, prefer to fly and rent cars now.

upstate NY to Miami. By myself without stopping, Miami to somewhere in Maryland before I decided Iwas a danger to myself and others on the road and I'd likely get lost anyway since it was dark and raining.

St Pete FL to Vancouver BC and back. No speed records, we stopped Pike's Peak, Yellowstone, Olympic NP, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, San Antonio, New Orleans and Mobile. We were towing a popup trailer behind an S-10 pickup. Lots of good memories.
