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

DJROSS

1/19/21 12:09pm

Yes, but only starting from the Northeast.

ReyOso

1/19/21 12:12pm

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

justAnotherCoug

1/19/21 12:12pm

6 states or more?

cougarfann888

1/19/21 12:13pm

Then again, you can get from Oregon to Georgia by only crossing 6 states

cheezedawg

1/19/21 12:16pm

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

cheezedawg

1/19/21 12:19pm

Wow really? That’s crazy.

Ashtrash

1/19/21 12:40pm

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

cheezedawg

1/19/21 12:45pm

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

jdub

1/19/21 12:17pm

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

rad dawg

1/19/21 12:21pm

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

jdub

1/19/21 12:25pm

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

cheezedawg

1/19/21 12:22pm

I think its reasonable to assume DJROSS isnt planning a rexburg to LA trip

rad dawg

1/19/21 12:31pm

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

DJROSS

1/19/21 12:35pm

Have visited all 50, but most at one time was six, to finish the 50.

grandpacoug

1/19/21 1:08pm

Kilgore Trout

1/19/21 12:14pm

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

We do them frequently, to visit family. That's what happens when you live far from family I guess.

Is your wife's definition one-way? We're at 15ish, all but 1 to visit family

ForzaPuma

1/19/21 12:29pm

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

DJROSS

1/19/21 12:40pm

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

ForzaPuma

1/19/21 12:52pm

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the idea. I might purloin the concept.

DJROSS

1/19/21 12:55pm

Utah to east coast 5 times

TheHop

1/19/21 12:30pm

With children that young that is a special type of road warrior spirit. 😲

DJROSS

1/19/21 12:42pm

We did a 3 week vacation in 2004, visiting all the church history sites.

CopperLix

Have you ever tried a train trip?

ReyOso

My wife did that in Russia St Petersburg along the Volga river. I've been on

Dude that sounded rough. The road trip no rest pack house and move

DJROSS

1/19/21 1:16pm

Yeah, it was unpleasant. Especially because I'd been away for nine months.

Homercles

I sure hope you let her know just how important she is to you and the family
