Stayed in KC first day, WV second day.

The second time I made a nice trip of it and took a week. Drove south and spend some nights in Taos, Austin, Houston, Nola, ATL, Charlotte.

I loved the second trip. First one sucked.

Anyone ever made the drive from Utah to the east coast (Virginia)?

4 days is reasonable, 3 if you’re hustling

Asheville is a beautiful. Nice rest area. You can avoid Highway 81 too

I got paid to do it in Chevy Malibu once. I only had to pay for gas, food, hotel

Did Utah to NC in about two days. Are you talking about the WV tolls?

My rule of thumb is take the googlemap time estimate and divide it by 12. That’s
