Close -- Canton, MA to Oakland, CA. Mapquest calls it 3113 miles, but we took a couple of short side trips in western MA, so our trip may just edge out Vinces's Beaverton, OR to Gloucester, MA roundtrip. Besides, we had a 28' truck, not a poofy little van :) (And, hmm, Key West, FL to Blaine, WA seems to be the longest driving distance in the contiguous 48 states, over 3600 miles. Are any longer shortest-path trips possible entirely within one country? Looks like Canada, Russia and China have longer ones, and maybe Chile). The major geek factor during the drive was maintaining a spreadsheet that calculated our arrival time in Salt Lake City, factoring in waypoint distances, driving speed, rest stops and sleep times, which we used to ensure we'd make it to the Red Iguana restaurant for dinner before it closed. It turned out we were only allowed three hours of sleep in Nebraska, but it worked. Left MA on Thursday evening, and made it to SLC on Sunday night with two hours to spare. (Why? Seven reasons: mole coloradito, mole amarillo, mole negro, mole poblano, mole pipian, mole verde, and mole de almendras -- worth a trip to Utah just to eat there, but this drifting off topic, isn't it.). Made it home to Oakland Monday night. We should have some pictures of the Sunshine Biscuit Factory remodel and the system up on ibm1130.org or maybe another site (as we have everything but the 1130 there) sometime soon; we'll make an announcement when it happens.
