I drive everywhere to hunt in the us and lower Canada when it is open. currently retired but worked long hours when I did work.
I run competitive Field Trials for retrievers(AKC & CKC), I also judge and these events have literally been from the artic circle to Florida, from the East coast to Montana and everywhere in between, I have had over 100 assignments and run nearly 5 times that many events. I've only flown to two events so far.
I now own the camp in Sodak but have been going with a group and solo for over 20 years its a 24 hr straight thru and that's with the dogs, its over 1300 miles from NY
Colorado has been right around 28 hours straight thru from NY, I've only done this once so far with one co driver, this year it looks like I'm solo so I may go to camp first and hunt a week or so there first then on to CO
Alabama in Feb is 20 hours plus also have to take dogs usually solo
S Carolina I do 4-5 times a year almost always solo with the dogs takes 14 hrs and is 900 miles, have done this trip over a 100 times during the last 35 years
I love long distance driving
