Right on! I love this, nothing like hearing from someone who’s experienced it personally. I drove across Canada in 1997, I’m leaving from Oregon for Florida in a couple of days, a little nervous about such a daunting drive, this definitely helped…

Thank you very much! I enjoy the honest feelings you bring to the telling of your trip.

And yes, I will remember the part about keeping gas in the tank

Hi Stephen,

I too am thinking about driving across country. I have never seen the Rocky Mtns., Grand Canyon and many other beautiful places in the US. I’d like to go now before I go back to school for nursing. Are there any good books out there to help plan my route? Any good websites that you know of to help me plan?

Thank you.

Hi Stephen,

Just a short note to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed your story! I have been pondering making a trip like this for a couple of months now, and reading about your adventure has put me one step closer to getting in my car and heading out. Thanks for sharing your experience and for all of the good advice.

All the best,
Joe Richter

Give yourself at least a week. Sure you could do the trip in four days driving 12 hrs a day, but it is much worth your while to take your time and enjoy the journey.

Excellent…amazing website! Thanks so much. Quick question, if you did not to see family, sightsee and did not have any weather challenges, how long to do you think it would have taken you to get to Oregon from NC? Thxs. Nur
