Belmont, California to Medford, Massachusetts.

In 1989, from my home (here in Charlottesville, VA) to Dallas, TX.

When I was a kid, my family would drive from Massachusetts to Florida for vacation (we did it 4-5 times). My dad had it all worked out. My parents would load me and my brother into the back of the Ford LTD station-wagon, still asleep, at 3am. Then, he'd drive straight from Massachusetts down to Lumberton, North Carolina. According to Yahoo Maps, that's about 780 miles, 12 hours, 20 minutes. I assume it took longer, since I'm sure we stopped (though, we ate packed lunches and stuff; there was a mini-fridge in the station-wagon too).

Later, as an adult, my wife and I drove from Massachusetts to Lexington, Kentucky in one shot (also, back), for her brother's wedding. Yahoo Maps says that's 900 miles, 14 hours. I seem to recall it took us more like 20 hours, though. That was too long, we've opted to fly ever since.

The longest car ride I've taken was from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay, about 8 hours (9 if you count the 1 hour break in Kenora).

Probably Boston to the Baltimore area in the mid-80's. I drove Boston to San Francisco once but stopped for a lot more than "comfort" breaks.

22 hours...from here to south of Houston it took a full 2 days...but we stopped over night..so..I'm just giving you the one day.

I'm not sure; maybe 10-12 hours? I was on a longer bus trip, but that's not really the same.

The longest journey I have ever taken was riding in the car while my father drove us to Riverside (an amusement park in New England). Of course I was only 9 at the time, but when you are a kid, car rides that take only one hour can feel like a life time. "Are we there yet?"

Not counting the long road trips I took as a kid (I can't remember them all) it would have to be one I took in '98. St. Louis to Shreveport

Drove to Florida non stop, two of us driving. Florida from Ontario however long that took... I don't remember.

About 13-14 hours.

From Mississippi to Orlando, Florida. We made that trip many times when I was a kid. I went with my grandparents from Mississippi to North Carolina, but we stopped over night.

The longest trip I have taken by car is driving down to Denver International Airport
from the mountains and it is a nice long drive and back up here

About 400 miles.

With me as the driver. In 2005 to the Czech Republic. 1041 km in 14 hours.
As a passenger probably back from the south of France, about 1000 km.

However long it takes to drive from Montreal, Canada to Dayton, Ohio. We did that straight, in one go.

Drumnadrochit to Leeds - a quick check on the internet states it's just shy of 400 miles. With one pee stop.

Not the longest trip posted on here I'm sure, but far too long for me - hate being cramped in a car.

Our trip back from Baltimore to Chesapeake, I was asleep most of the time so we ended up not stopping for those 280-something miles.

Ohio-Florida.

About 13 hours.

I was just up at the Lexington Airport picking up Ben a few weeks ago. It's a tiny little place. I used to work in Lexington occasionally for the last company I was with. It's about 1.5 hours from me.

Yeah, we drove through Cincinnati on the way down... though, we drove back through West Virginia... We flew down there a few years ago, but I think we arrived in Louisville (I can't remember! I remember it has just snowed, which was unusual). They moved a little, though they are still somewhat close to Lexington, I think (they drove us around, so I don't really know where I was). I think they were actually in Versailles (which they don't pronounce the French way, lol). Oh, and they are near Frankfurt now too.

You must have taken 64 across on the WV trip. I still use 64 in WV for taking Mare to her dad's in NC.

Yeah, Versailles' pronunciation has always bugged me. There are some beautiful horse farms in Lexington, and some awesome camping and hiking (Daniel Boone National Forest) further south... but otherwise, there's not much to drive around and look at in Lexington that I've noticed.

WV was pretty to drive through... I remember the horse pastures, nice grass.

Do you live near the Mothman bridge?

Gatineau, Québec to Orlando Florida (4600 km return trip)

As in Point Pleasant, WV? From the Mothman Prophecies?

I drive through Pt. Pleasant when I take Mare to meet her dad. He lives in NC, and we meet in the mountains of WV halfway. I have to drive East across the entire bottom of Ohio, and through Pt. Pleasant to get there. It's kind of a creepy area... but you leave the highway in Ohio to use this country road that runs along the river for about 40 miles... that's when you're in Pt. Pleasant.... A lot of truckers use that road so there is this weird mixture of small farms, mansions, wrecked trailers, and truckstops with dirty movie booths. The country road leads to the highway in WV.

I agree, it's beautiful. If you ever want to take a scenic drive, I recommend taking 77S through West Virginia and Virginia in the fall. You go through Charleston and all through the mountains. It goes through two very long tunnels as well.

KC, Mo to Buffalo, NY. Don't remember how long it took.

From the north east area of Colorado to Key Largo. I don't recall how many miles, but it took me about 30 hours. I did that twice.
I checked, it's about 2420 miles.

That's over 3000 miles!

About 1858 miles...over 33 hours.

About 992 miles, maybe 16 hours.

I got Microsoft Streets and Trips, I like to play with it.

I didn't have to drive but it was in a tiny ass car with four people, a Festiva.

The longest wasn't a car trip... it was two weeks of hell trapped in a motor home with my mother, sister, and stepfather. We drove from southeastern Washington to Missouri, via the Dakotas, then back through Oklahoma and New Mexico. At least New Mexico was cool... we saw Carlsbad Caverns. Over 1800 miles there, and a little more back.

Ooops, edit. Didn't quite read correctly the part about just being a straight journey. Our trip was for a family reunion, with lots of site-seeing along the way.

Phoenix to chicago.

My wife believes in the Mothman. There's a cool/funky statue of him near the bridge.

I forget what roads we took, but whatever you guessed it probably right, we just took the big interstates. It took so long, we just had to keep driving the whole time. On the way there, we got really tired and it was getting super late too (2am?). We were staying at the Ramada in Lexington, so we kept chanting "Ramada, Ramada, Ra-Ma-Da, ra-ma-da, RA-ma-DA, ..." It was funny, but also really sad and pathetic-like.

Anyway, the drive home was better somehow. We left early in the morning, and it was foggy and the hills and mountains were misty. I remember, we got off the highway once to get gas and ended up driving forever to get anywhere, but then we suddenly got somewhere (gas station, etc) and it was on the top of this plateau. So, it had a nice view and was worth it, in the end. It was kind of a long time ago, I just remember bits and pieces of it. I remember seeing signs for "Cracker Barrel" a lot. I'd never heard of the place before. Since then, I think there are some up here now too.

I don't recall any tunnels, but tunnels are cool, I agree. I suspect I probably sang that John Denver song (in my head) most of the way through WV. "West Virginia, mountain momma" ...

And what do you think?

I'm leaning towards active imaginations.

That's an awesome statue, I had no idea.... Maybe next time, I should hang around Pt Pleasant and have a look.... I cross what I assume is the replacement for that Silver bridge every time I go on that trip.

I don't believe in anything.

> I don't believe in anything.

Well, that's the perfect way to avoid ever being disappointed.

Drove across the country using a southerly route (it was winter) from Boston to Seattle when a dear friend was moving west.

from Montana to Iowa at Thanksgiving time.....OH THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

*sings*
Do you believe in life after love?
*Flicks her hair like Cher*

do you have an ass tattoo, too?

Yes, it says:
http://surveycentral.org

Now that is something I can believe in!

I'm taking this to mean no stopping to sleep. If so, Tampa to Atlanta or the reverse. Did that several times when I lived in Florida. I also drove from CT to Tampa when I moved. However, I did stop to sleep in South Carolina. I was the driver on all of these trip and with the exception of my roommate joining me once, I was always alone.

I used to love going to Riverside when I was a child!

San Jose to Chicago

Moving from Denver to Atlanta. Drove until I was about to pass out; pulled over and slept in the cab. 20 foot truck pulling a car to boot. Wouldn't ever wanna do it again.

Probably Vancouver to some little buttfudge town in northern California. Redding? At least 12 hours, I don't know...maybe 550 miles?

I'm not including journeys that were by truck or bus or any other vehicle aside from a "car". I'm assuming that the journey ends when you stop to sleep. I'm also assuming that "fuel, food and comfort" is an exception to "must have been in the car".

California to Alaska. There was one stretch where I was driving 31 hours straight, watching things pass on the adjacent highway which I found later did not exist, until finally I just came to a stop on the highway, totally asleep.

Dirty movie booths. I never imgined such a thing existed, but I guess I'm not surprised.

maybe florida to new jersey which is about 950 miles. i hated every minute of it. too long to drive especially in one fell swoop.

3000 miles down to to Mexico

Well let my change my previous ansewr it was me and another guy taking turns but I drove from San Diego all the way to San Antonio. Then we switch places.

I have driven upto 24 hours straight without stopping for anything but gas and to eat.

About 4 hours?

I'm proud I wasn't actually sick..

San Francisco to Lake Charles, LA. I don't recall how long. About 2 days and we didn't get a hotel, we just took turns driving, nonstop.

San Diego to Los Angeles to San Diego to Los Angeles in one day was probably the longest but my trip out of Iraq; Al Kut, Iraq to the port in Kuwait seemed longer.

Were you moving? I hope you didn't get to LA then realize you forgot something.

Worse, we were in San Diego getting ready to go home to LA when we found out a parent friend of ours kids just drove off with their parent's car keys to head home to LA. We tried to catch up to them quickly, but the darn teenagers made it all the way home before we could get to them, get their parent's car keys from them, drive back to San Diego to give them to the parents and to then head back to LA to go home. Ugh, what a long day.

Oh man, hope you had good music and conversation. That probably took away much of the sight-seeing mood of both trips. Now you know better than to try and catch up to teenagers. Your only hope was their briefly getting lost or distracted along the way.

Gotta do what you gotta do. I wasn't fun but I had my wife with me for company.

I've taken trips to Floridia, Alabama, New Orleans, Tennessee, Tuepelo Ms etc. So I'm not really sure what I would say seemed the longest.

> About 13-14 hours.

Have you been to Mobile Alabama? Girl, they got THE finest guys around!!!!!!!!

No. I'm ready to go there now

Yeehhaww lets go!

Alabama, here we come!

Saddle up boys! Here comes double trouble!

Woo Hoo!!

As as child we traveled to both Victoria, B.C. by car & Iowa by car. I'm not certain which was further away.
