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

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

6 states or more?
cougarfann888
1/19/21 12:13pm
Then again, you can get from Oregon to Georgia by only crossing 6 states

1/19/21 12:16pm
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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