I guess I’m a long hauler. My job has me on the road a lot. I take too much gear to fly. 10 hour drives are common.

I’m at my mother in laws house today. It’s about 700 miles away. This trip was the first time we’ve ever broken it into two days.

I just order a camper top for my truck. When it gets built, we’ll drive from
Maryland to Washington to pick it up. 2500 miles each way. Far more freedom than riding in a flying bus.

Whee. Not my idea of fun! Definitely agree about the plane; last time I had to use one of those time was more pressing than my convenience, and it was also wretched.

Found a data source: https://www.bts.gov/browse-statistical-products-and-data/covid-related/distribution-trips-distance-national-state-and

If true (forget covidmania data) the road trip is not a common thing, despite all the digital ink it gets. Typical Brandon lackeys trying to expunge the world pre-virus. I’ll need earlier data before I’d jump to conclusions.
