Question #250

What is the longest Road Trip you have ever taken?

When was this? Where did you go? Who was with you? Is it a good memory?

hmmmm...home (near Seattle) to nowhere, South Dakota. It was a long journey via car and a long journey culturally. It was an experience, a jumble of experiences. A ranch run the old way, with primitive ammenities and on one of the poorest places in the United states, a Sioux Indian reservation.

Was it fun? I am not sure. I have some happy memories of it but time has painted a different portrait of many of the memories.

Longest Road Trip: Texas to Maine and back again.

It was September 27 - October 14, 2001. PEF & I had to drive to our wedding after 9/11. It is a very good memory that we cherish.

Three days of driving there and four coming home. We took a northerly route going up and came through the south on the return. We took over 30 rolls of film during the adventure.

After my first year of College - my two room mates & I drove from Boulder CO, to Chicago (dropped off one room mate), then to Connecticut (dropped off the other room mate), then I drove to Atlanta and picked up my oldest brother and we went to the panhandle of Florida and went scuba diving and had a blast. I then took him back to Atlanta, sold the van, and flew home (at the time) to Germany.

Quite a trip, and a very enjoyable memory.

I'm not sure. Two trips come to mind. One was when I was about 8 years old and we drove from Ark. to Calif. and went to Disneyland. The other one was when I was in high school and we drove from Ark. up into Canada and came back through New York and Ohio and Virginia to visit relatives there.

The trips were fun -- especially fighting with my brothers over who had to sit in the middle. LOL

NOT COUNTING THE TRIPS BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM IDAHO
TO CALIF.BY WAY OF VIRGINIA THAT THE NAVY AND I TOOK, I SUPPOSE THE
BEST TRIP WAS DBQ,TO THE THE LITTLE
BIG HORN BATTLEFIELD. IT WAS MOST INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT DIFFERENT
WRITERS CALLED 'BLUFFS',CANYONS',
ETC WAS NOT AS WILD AS DBQ. COUNTY.
IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE WHERE
SLIMEBALL CUSTER GOT HIS COME UPPENANCE FOR SAND CREEK. MADE THE
TRIP ALONE SOON AFTER I RETIRED.
REALLY NOT A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE ALONE THAT FAR SIPPING COFFEE AND
LIGHTING ONE "FLAVORFUL CIGARETTE"
AFTER ANOTHER. BUT THE BADLANDS
WERE SOMETHING TO SEE, BUT WHY THEY
FOUGHT OVER THEM IS A MYSTERY, THAT
DEVILS TOWER WAS QUITE A SIDE TRIP
OF AN HOUR OR SO,ALONG WITH THOSE
PRESIDENTS CARVED OUT OF THAT "BLUFF". IT IS A NICE TRIP
BUT GO ON TO THE "TETONS". I GOT
TIRED OF ME BY THEN, BUT IT IS A REGRET. YOU GO SEE THEM!!!!!!!!

From New York to Texas with my mother and father. Some of it was fun. Good memories of the wrong turns, funny people, and strange events. We got lost in the Smokey Mountains.

To echo my wife's sentiment, it would have to be our trip from Texas to Maine & back to get married.
