We do a lot of road trips but now only drive 4-6 hrs. /day. We rarely travel on Interstates and enjoy finding new places to explore. Tomorrow we head to Ely, Nv. for a week to scout for Muledeer and sheep. At the end of the month we're off to Jackson, Gardiner, Ennis, and Salmon for as long as we want. I waited way to long to retire.

I was only chaining your rattle, Wyo. Sounds like he made a good choice.
And now back to the mileage melange. X2!

A month or so ago we did nine hours each way to fish BC. It was a beautiful drive and well worth the "effort". ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hoRGCmc.jpg) Taste's like chicken

My record is Daytona to San Diego in two days. Stopped for gas and to piss. Had to make a very important business appointment. Caught a bit of shut-eye in Texas someplace. Saw Jaurez literally on fire. Only hold ups were ICE checkpoints. Damn glad to see them. Some sketchy characters on that interstate betwixt Texas and Commifornia. I-10 pretty much the whole way.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I just don't "travel" good these days. I get an hour to an hour and a half before I need a restroom stop. me too, but mostly for my back. 100 miles and then a 10 minute walkaround break works.

True this! We mainly travel back roads and are constantly amazed at some of the things/ critters we spot on these frequent breaks. I keep a pair of 10x50 binos handy and seem to spot more cool stuff by accident than when I am hunting. I can't get enough of western America. mike r

A BIL and I drove 1700 miles in about 30 hours several years ago. From NW Georgia to NW Colorado for a hunt. We took turns driving and sleeping. We were in western Kansas just before sunup when both of us hit the wall and neither felt safe to drive. We pulled into a rest area for about 45 minutes of sleep. Two years ago I drove 950 miles from Hays KS all the way home in 19 hours. I drove every mile of that.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Lemme guess, Cali transplant?
grin
I RARELY go anywhere outside of the 'farm' but a couple weeks ago it was too hot for the airplane to fly so I drove down to Billings and picked my wife up at the airport. About 310 miles one way.
I hadn't been to Billings since we moved up here to Wolf Point(and you think Havre is 'bad'?.....). Anyway I hadn't been in 'traffic' in over 8 years and couldn't wait to get the hell outta there!
Interstate driving was nice though, kinda relaxing. 620 miles was a piece of cake, way more fun than a 12-15 hour day in the tractor. Of course driving is easy this time of year, winter time is an entire different ball game.....

Bob, if the farm wasn't here I'd move it to the Lewistown area. Great location, probably my favorite town in the entire state.
