How to drive through all 48 of the contiguous United States in 113 hours

Have you ever thought about visiting all of the United States? In fact, the two of us have a goal to visit all 50 states by the time with both turn 50 – 2015 and 2016, respectively.

But what if you wanted to drive through them all (well, the lower 48) – ON THE SAME ROAD TRIP?

A guy named Stephen Von Worley figured out the best way how. Von Worley, from Data Pointed, mapped out the most efficient drive that would take a person through every state in the lower 48 and D.C. The route begins in South Berwick, Maine and ends 6,872 miles later in Taft, Montana.

Here’s the Google Maps link, if you want to try it for yourself!
