Longest Time You Stayed on One Highway on a Given Trip

[Rothman]

Did I forget to post how far I travelled on one road?

Jackson, TN to Albuquerque, NM

1,090 miles

Pathetic compared to some, not bad considering I was 15 at the time (I was a passenger of course).

You poor, pathetic soul who has attempted twice by supplying two out of three data items needed to be added to the table.  Unfortunately, supplying the same two items twice does not make four in this case.  I can deal with one too many, but one too few?  I refuse.

Shed yourself of the pathos, mend your ways and your wish to be added will be granted.

There's only one route that connects the two...

Longest time for me was from Dayton OH to Mackinaw Island MI for a vacation and Dayton OH to Florida on another trip all I-75

[Bruce]

Set a new record for myself last night on the way home from a long road trip.

WA-20 / 178 miles from Omak to Burlington

I'm assuming you meant Mackinaw City. Can't drive to the island (which is spelled Mackinac) though it would be cool to do so. My family used to visit regularly for vacations when I was a kid in the 60s. It was awesome then, though I'd probably whine about it now because I'm sure it's all changed. (You can't even stroll on the Grand Hotel porch for free anymore.)

It's quite alright.  I don't need to be added.  I probably don't have all the requirements, although if not, I can accept that.  It was 24 years ago.

[US 89]

This is dumb. All you need to say to appease Lord High Almighty Rothman is that you took I-40 between those two points.

Are you now saying you didn't stay on one route between Jackson and Albuquerque?

I did.  I-40.  Didn't veer from it at all except for rest stops.

You'll find Rothman is a bit picky.  If you don't spell out every detail of something to be added to one of his lists, he won't add it out of principle.  Now I think that should be enough to get you on the list.

I see.  I must have forgotten to mention I was on I-40, lol.

Pathos shedded and an eyebrow-raising mileage...

Chicago to the US-14 exit in Ranchester, WY.  1211 mi on I-90.

That could have been almost a complete clinch of US-14.

Some interesting clumping going on.

I guess I'll be the only one on here with a state highway for a bit. Definitely harder to do side trips on a road with no intersections with other state highways for 106 miles.

[Scott5114]

If ClassicHasClass posts in this thread, he probably wins it (3,199 on US-6).

[adventurernumber1]

I think for me the answer would be I-65 from Nashville all the way to the I-94 interchange (unless a part of my memory is failing me) in Summer 2012, and amazingly done within the span of one day (from morning to late afternoon) -- for a total of around 431 miles, which is close to half of I-65's entire length. Along this eventful ride (on the way to Chicago) was my first time entering the state of Kentucky (ditto for Indiana and Illinois), my first time ever eating at a Taco Bell  (Exit 29: IN 56 in Scottsburg, Indiana), and my first time being on a stretch of highway (in real life) passing by a large array (or really any at all) wind turbines (on I-65 northwest of Lafayette). What's interesting is that US 41 actually goes through both my hometown (Dalton, GA) and Chicago, so on that trip it was theoretically possible to take that one route for the literal entirety of the trip, all the way into downtown Chicago (but sure enough, on the bookends of the trip -- departure at the exit at I-75, and approaching the destination at Navy Pier, US 41 was indeed used for a very small percentage of the route). 

If we had taken I-75 south through Macon instead of I-475, then I-75 from Dalton to Florida's Turnpike would be my record (at 467 miles), but as it stands it is bisected into two legs at Macon. Even so, the stretch of I-75 from Macon (I-475) to the Turnpike (at 300 miles) is still one of the rivals for this record (and would have in fact been the record until that trip to Chicago in 2012).

Other rival stretches of highway traveled include I-30 from Little Rock to DFW, and I-40 from Nashville to Little Rock (from the same trip) is possible but not likely because I think there's a good chance we had skipped an exit in Jackson, TN (taking surface roads instead).

I am finally ready to do the math:

I-20 at I-95 in Florence, SC to I-20 and I-35E in Dallas, TX: 1,067 miles
I-10 at I-95 in Jacksonville, FL to I-10 at TX-71 Columbus, TX: 945 miles
I-10 at US-290 in Segovia, TX to I-10 in Santa Monica, CA: 1,276 miles
I-40 at I-75 in Knoxville, TN to I-40 at I-35 in Oklahoma City, OK: 861 miles
