3. Three Time Zones in 30 Hours ... Morristown, NJ to Alamosa, CO. Damn near non-stop on that one. Two drivers, with alternating sleep schedule. You ain't had a real road trip until you've rolled into the Iowa 80 truck stop at 4:00 AM and been jolted out of your sleep by the sound of a rooster crowing in a cage packed in the bed of the pickup truck next to you.
2. Election Season 2016 in Trump Country ... Dallas, TX to Topeka, KS to Raleigh, NC over five days. Less than 25 miles of this trip was taken on any interstate highways. All U.S. highways and back roads. If I told you that the ratio of Trump to Clinton signs was 500 to 1 I'm probably underestimating the Trump count.
1. Driving the Trans-Canada Highway ... titled after the National Geographic book published in the early 1990s on this subject. Montreal, Quebec to Kamloops, British Columbia over the course of two weeks. Some of the best people you'll ever meet, some of the most remote stretches of road in North America, and some of the most spectacular scenery you'll ever see.
I have wanted to visit Canada for quite a while, and that route sounds ideal. Thank you for sharing these road trips!
Your “three time zones in 30 hours” reminded me of a return trip from CA. I had planned to stop in Amarillo but all the hotels/motels were full of oil field workers (fracking had just begun). No vacancies until I reached Oklahoma City but by then I decided why stop now. Drove 998 solo miles that day from Kingman, AZ, to Joplin, MO.
