I drove from Toronto to Vancouver, in one go. I stopped roughly every 400km for gas, bought food and pop at gas stations as needed.

I went south, crossed at Sarnia into America, and back into Canada at peace Arch. It took about two days.

Now, before everyone gets all angsty about this being unsafe. I really did not mean to do this, or have to. I left Toronto intending to stop in Chicago. I got to Chicago relatively early in the day. I love chicago, but I thought if I stopped then, I'd probably end up staying a few days and there was no need to do that, I was more than fine so I kept driving.

First night rolls around and I was west of Minnesota. I was starting to think about stopping but wasn't at all tired. Around 4Am I stopped for gas and was still feeling good, there was zero point in stopping for 5 hours in a hotel, so I continued.

I started to feel a bit tired, and I mean a bit tired, just as the sun came up, but then it was up and I felt amazing. I crossed Montana from the SE to the NW, roughly. As I crossed close to the Cascades in Washington I started to get tired, but I was so close to hom, I said fuck it and pressed on.

At the border they pulled me over because they said my car crossed in Sarnia x amount of hours before, I said yes in fact it did. They didn't believe me, interogated me for sometime, then on my way I went.

I wasn't on any drugs. I didn't speed excessively, I just literally only stopped for gas, to pay, and grab some food at some stops. Not even a drive through though.

This was 2009. I was in a shitty mood at the time, a girlfriend and I had that summer before going our separate ways, it was planned ahead of time, our lives were diverging and we were grown enough to know that, but it still sucked. The reason I didn't stop in Chicago was I was pretty certain I'd kick off a many day bender in my favorite city, and I didn't have the money for it.
