4200 miles in 75 hours


Newsgroups: alt.travel.road-trip Subject: Re: Turbo Trips From: gerald@cs.ualberta.ca (Gerald Oskoboiny) Date: 6 Oct 93 05:59:04 GMT In August I drove from Toronto, Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta, via Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Fargo, and Regina. That's about 2300 miles, and I did it by myself in under 48 hours, including roughly 5 hours of visiting with friends along the way, and 4 hours of sleep. When I arrived in Edmonton, I hopped into a different car with two friends and drove to Phoenix, Arizona via Salt Lake City, in about 27 hours. That's about 1900 miles. In total, I went 4200 miles in 75 consecutive hours, with me driving for 60 of these hours. A new record? Gerald
Addendum: As of Jan. '95, I still haven't heard of anyone doing a more insane trip than this one.
