They Did It!

I just had to check in with the guys over at the Great American Road Trip.

I first wrote about them a few days back. They were three guys hoping to road trip through every state in the U.S. of A. in just five days.

Turns out, they were successful. It took them 106 hours and 43 minutes. According to their blog, they made it the entire way without getting pulled over once, even though they saw 90 cops.

They also claim they managed to win three girls’ phone numbers from the road!

Here is a blog except from Josh, one of the road tripping guys. He offered this reflection:

I have been asked if I would do it again, without reservation the answer is yes! It was rough at times, sleeping in a car is terrible, but all the sites and people were amazing. The good far outweighs the bad. I was living a dream.

48 States, 5 Days, 3 Men

There are these three guys called Joey, Josh and Adam and they are doing something kind of crazy.

They are trying to drive through all 48 contiguous states in just 5 days.

They’ve got a plan: Start in Vermont and finish at Four Corners where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona meet.

Their path through the states is a little strange and loopy. They are hitting a lot of corners to tick off the most states in the least amount of time.

Can they do it?

They’re trying. They pushed off at 7:30 am on Sunday, May 4. Check out their blog to chart their progress. At the time of this posting they were in Louisiana.

Their Great American Road Trip will cover 7,500 miles. They are hoping to beat the current best known time, which is – apparently – 5 days, 7 hours and 15 minutes.
