Today I drove 905 miles from Los Angeles to Santa Rosa, New Mexico.
The drive took over 14 hours and I’m beat.
A couple of pictures from the road.
Rolling through Albuquerque at dusk:
And a full moon bouncing with the night traffic.
Once things look like that, it’s time to sleep.
I’m sure I missed something today, and I only hope it was worth missing.

By my rough calculations you averaged
64.642857142857142857142857142857 mph
including stops. Good job!
But never post incriminating evidence. In this case I’m going to let you off with a warning. 😉
Your trip would be illegal if you were a commercial driver. You can only drive 11 hours after you have had 10 hours off duty.
I used to drive Nashville/L.A round-trips a few times per month and loved it. The driving regs were more flexible and allowed for more rest than the current “improved” regulations. Back then I could drive until I got tired and sleep until I woke up. Big pay and little hassle.
[…] Yes, I am still on the road, and exceeding the government-imposed driving quotas mentioned by an earlier commenter. […]
