For sure 4 or 5 days to cross the country if you bee line it...stay awake for 24 hours and you can make it 3.
I've driven thru the whole country except for Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas....
Some of the driving has lost it's charm because of the volume of traffic, especially the large trucks.
But my favorite drives have been along the Pacific Coast Hwy. from S. California all the way up to Washington State. Unbelievable !! And then the interior of New England, down the Appalachian's (Blue Ridge Pkwy in the South) and the Rocky Mountains.
It'd take 2 months to realize most of the country in a cruize, taking time to absorb and stopping to smell the roses. I grow weary of the urban drives, and the landscapes of the midwest are so droll, you just want to start seeing some mountains after Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and the like.
Gas is still cheaper than in Europe, but it's reportedly gonna hit $4.00 this summer ! Makes for an expensive roadtrip.
No more 99 cent gallons of gas....
