Long roads
I thought hwy 287 was long, from Port Arthur Tx to Glacier Nat Park. But I just saw that hwy 75 runs from Galveston Tx to Winnepeg Canada.
Anyone have any other long ones?

I don't have any answer to your question but looks like you are planning on putting those new disc brakes to work???

Yeah we are in NE Kansas, on the way to Knoxville Iowa. We were driving around Melvern Lake and there was hwy 75. I asked Betty if that could possibly be the same as 75 in Texas and Oklahoma. She, as the all knowing brainiac that she is, said yes it is. She was right again.
Loving the brakes. Those freeway exit ramps that are 20mph aren't so much a pucker factor anymore.

I would think route US 60 over 2600 miles . I stated In Branson Missouri dropped off in NM it’s 2 lane and not a lot of places to pull over . It starts in Virginia and Stops at Brenda Arizona.

We have driven every mile of US-2 from coast to coast, however it breaks up in Michigan and picks up again in New York. I think it is about 2100 miles. Am I mistaken, or is US-20 not the longest?

We just hate it when you race fans come on here and flaunt your escapades, new and planned. Our big plan of the week? Go to the Moose Lodge Saturday night for dinner, drinks and the 'Queen of Hearts' drawing. No, we have never won!

I'm pretty sure that I have driven every inch of 287 at least once and some portions of it hundreds of times. Also US Hwy 6 , 3,198.87 miles

I knew the Trans Canada rang a bell with an old Southpark episode:
Priest:
Follow the only road.
Man:
Follow the only road.
Canadians:
To go anywhere in Canada, you just follow the only road.
There's only one road in Canada. We call it the Road, the only road.
Hip-hip, hooray, let's hear it for our Road.
Road Workers:
And it's paved and wide and up to code.
Canadians:
You're off to see the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister of Canada!
Sometimes as you get old you just have to stoop down to a level of entertainment that you're not proud of....
Oh, my God, they killed Kenny!

Some days I feel like my life has been a long road. Hopefully it doesn’t end too soon.

LOL Jim.
Never watched an episode. If I want cheap real life entertainment I go to Walmart on a Saturday morning. I call it dress down Saturday. You just can't write some of that sh*t.

My goal, on this road of life, is to arrive at home plate, dirty, smelly, torn and tattered clothes, hung over and "ragged as hell", screaming, "ONE MORE TIME AT BAT AND I'LL QUIT (maybe)" !!!!! To hell with the potholes along the way !!!!!

If your Walmart is anything like ours - it’s OMG my eyes! I can’t unsee that! Sadly, ours is not only Saturday mornings…it’s 24/7.

Yes sir the 410 Nationals. I just got back to the trailer. Knoxville is a zoo, but a good kinda zoo. Good race tonight..Gravel and Scelci. My guy Spencer Bayston 10th.
Dang it was hot and humid. You'd think it was Houston. Cool front tonight.
We like Eldora except they have tended to run the track dry and let it get too dusty for me. The 4 Crown weekend is usually good. That was the first time I saw Kyle Larson.
We're headed to Springfield after this one for the Tony Bettenhausen 100. USAC Silver Crown cars on the 1 mile dirt track.
