Longest road trip ever-Anchorage, AK to Key West, FL - 90 hrs contin drive
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 03:52 AM by fujiyama
I was bored one day and my friend and I decided this likely the two farthest points of US territory you can drive.

Any other interesting suggestions? I used mapquest because it seems like google maps couldn't calculate it.

1. Nope, that would be Fairbanks, AK to Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina.
Spanning the whole of Pan-America.

6. True...
I was thinking of only N. America, though it would be amazing to take the entire highway across both continents. I read it is tough to get through the Panama Columbia border areas though.

2. Ahem
If you really want a long road trip, go all the way to the north tip, Prudhoe Bay, AK. That's the way to go.

3. Assuming you can drive on the Dalton Highway.
Which is only open in the summer.

4. Why roadtrip in Winter?
I guess gas is usually cheaper...but man, that would be lame for forever.
