Approximately 16 years ago, I drove from a small town in New Jersey to Los Angeles California in 3.5 days and back to NJ in 6.5 days.

I wouldn't recommend doing that since it took an average driving day of about 900 miles. Only had 10 days of vacation yet was moved to do something totally unplanned and wild. Wasn't about picture taking although I managed to take 360 pictures along the round trip.

About 4 years ago, I drove from NJ to Seattle Washington, then down through the Redwood Forest along Route 1 in California and then made a left turn at San Francisco and drove back to NJ, this in a period of Two weeks. Guess I'm slowing down.

Last August I drove from NJ to Jacksonville Florida in 17 hours and similarly back to NJ.

........... and YES ! ! ! !! I did it all SOLO.

Lesson learned? If you are a driving addict, do it. IF NOT ??? Take your time ...... stop to smell the roses. Rest and enjoy the beauty of the USA .... and take home some of what you see through your viewfinder. Most of all ....... take your time and enjoy BEING YOU.
