(+) Yeah! (+)

Topic

due to where we lived we functionally made the Grande Prarie to Calgary road trip four times a year

but that's about it

In shot?

As a passenger, drove 18 hours to Toronto Canada

as a driver, probably about 8-10 straight hours. Ive definitely driven 8 hours without stopping before

I have done a ton of long drives. Most of my vacations are that since I hate flying. Longest is probably Bar Harbor Maine to my home in Rochester New York. That is about 11 hours, but I did take a lunch break in-between.

I have done 6 hours before without stopping, but that was in my younger years, doubt I could do that now. Last trip the longest I lasted was about 4.

Not that many. Usually I do 8 to 10 hours then stay in a hotel. That's enough time sitting and eating and focusing on the road.
And if professional drivers are restricted to 10 hours. 8 hours seems good for an amateur like me.

I have however snowmobiled longer. 12+hour day trips are normal. Including one ride that started at 6am and ended at 10pm in another province.

Does it count if we switched, but never stopped? If it does, about 24 hours If not, like somewhere between 8 and 10, I think

Longest would have been 14 hours as a passenger from MN out to the Colorado ski resorts. We just pushed straight through and tried to sleep in the van (Jr high youth event).

As a driver, yeah, 8-9 hours with minimal breaks to the Black Hills or St Louis or a Canadian fishing camp.

We drove 24 hours over two days for a vacation once, there were 4 of us in the car and we switched every so often.

We drove from Tangier to Cape Town, which is about 7000 miles, but we sure as hell did not do it in one shot.

In one shot, probably more like 600 miles. 14 hour road trips were about it for me.

I hated them as a kid. We drove from Jacksonville to Philly in a day and that was awful.

Now that I'm an adult and I'm in charge of the travel we do I love it. Most notable road trip was a four corners trip. Flew into Albuquerque, rented a car, did the breaking bad tour. Drove to Colorado, bought weed. Went to Utah for grand, zion, and bryce canyons. Down to Arizona to see my uncle, did a jeep tour in Sedona, went to a brewery in Jerome, and saw the petrified forest.

Drove coast to coast in three days. I would not recommend it

San Diego to Omaha, via Las Vegas and Denver. About 1600 miles and 24 hours. One shot, just me driving.

Never been the driver but in 2018 we drove from NY to Las Vegas to pick up my brothers cats he left with a friend when he moved back to NY.
Then in that same week (we stayed in Vegas about a day and a half ) we drove back to NY.

Then 6 months later we moved to Vegas, in which we drove there.

Holy poop.

I've done VA to CA multiple times, mostly as a passenger. The most grueling for me was Anchorage, AK to Tacoma, WA. Mainly because sleeping in your truck, in June, when the sun never fucking sets was a massive pain in the ass.

vancouver to portland, took a lot longer than expected, like 8 hours from the border or something like that. seattle traffic is stupid

I had no idea they were that far from each other. North America is huge.
