Ok, not really statistical analysis. Here are some awesome numbers though.
Driving distance: 15578.8 miles
Driving time: 247 hours, 58 minutes
Trip Duration if we were driving 9-5 each day and only stopping to sleep: 31 days.
Allllriiiight.

There was a day, not long ago, when our itinerary waned and rambled like the Wandering Aengus. We had so much time to play with, and so many days to fill with sites and American sound. 1. Athens, Maine to Burlington, Vt. We're leaving Maine and shooting westward for some fun times in Burlington. But on the way we have a stop in the Concord, N.H. area which we can't miss, and which you'll learn more about when it comes. But this leaves us with roughly a 2 or 3 o'clock arrival in Burlington, which might just necessitate a few extra hours in town the next day. 2. Williamsport, Pa. down the Blue Ridge Parkway Here's a big one. It's a 4 1/2 hour drive from Williamsport to Shenandoah National Park - the starting point of the Blue Ridge Parkway. From there, we've got another 400 miles or so of the most astounding drive we could ever hope to encounter. We cannot do it at night, which means we've got to hit the road from Williamsport at an uncomfortably early hour. 3. Baton Rouge, La. to Memphis, Tenn. Sure, we've got some time to spend in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. But I don't doubt that we'll wish we'd spent longer in town by the end of it. And our next stop is nothing to sneeze at, either, as we've got an obligatory visit to Graceland ahead of us. Early on in our planning, we were concerned about whose car we're going to be using. It was between my 2006 Hyundai Sonata and Joey's 2001 Nissan XTerra... for some reason, we never really gave much thought to Sarah's car. Sorry, Sarah. |
