Ah, eastern ID, that makes sense, and it's probably the quickest route. I was thinking Boise first.

Travel question: my wife is curious how many have done a cross country
DJROSS

Yes, but only starting from the Northeast.

Yes. More than once. Yes in the last 20 years. Vacations / moves.

6 states or more?

1/19/21 12:13pm
Then again, you can get from Oregon to Georgia by only crossing 6 states

Btw for me to get to Idaho from NorCal, you just cross NV

Wow really? That’s crazy.

Yeah. OR -> ID -> WY -> NE -> MO -> TN -> GA.

How do you hit 5? Even if you count your starting state, I only get 4 (CA, NV, OR, ID)

counting the corner of AZ. CA, NV, AZ, UT, ID.

From SoCal, I-5 north to I-80 east to US 93 North. Only cross NV

Given our recent experiences don't count that one out lol.

I've only gone as far as Missouri from Utah in the last 20 years, so 4 states. I guess that doesn't count.

True road warrior wow. Yeah she didn't specify. West is different given size.

The KY-WA ones were the hardest ones. Everything else was 1-day, maybe 2-days
