I was feeling a bit american cos I've driven over 1000 miles in 3 days so I came in here to hear some proper crazy driving distances from actual Americans plz
I've driven cross country from upstate NY to Sacramento, CA several times it's roughly 2700 miles. It takes about 4 days, if you're really insane, 5 if you're not LOL.
Yeah you really get a bit weird at the end, and we were moving our stuff from NY to CA, so we BOTH drove, my husband drove a rental truck w/all our stuff in it, and I followed in our trusty Volvo. The last bit, which required us to come down hwy 80 over Donner Pass was pretty damn scary!
Portland to LA is a solid 16 hr drive if you stop for food, gas and to pee, with two people driving. I've done it in 14.5 hours with a couple of stops for gas/bathroom with a cooler in the car. It's almost 1000 miles
We used to do the 14h drive from home to Siesta Key, FL straight through - stopping only for gas and food. My stepdad trained us to not need hotel stops on road trips so that is probably why I rarely stop when driving from Canada.
