Fastest 48

Three friends trying to set the record for driving in all 48 connected US states. Current record: 86 hours, 19 minutes.

We're closing in on 8 hours of a projected 94 to break the #fastest48 record - driving in all 48 contiguous US states - four miles from MD and #11 - check out our progress here: https://t.co/qN07zbp7j8

Absolutely gutted. Sat down to start planning our second record attempt drive for 2022 only to find out three tech execs cannonballed the thing in a tricked out Mercedes earlier this year. No way we can approach it. Now to find a new challenge! https://t.co/gQApXOV89O

Just renewed the Domain name for another two years. We may be looking at Summer 2021 for Take 2 at the record. Thoughts, @jayskiier16 @nnskier ? #fastest48

Today’s new DEBUNKER for National Poetry Month: that “Road Not Taken” poem is not about (or even called!) what you think it is. https://t.co/tyzVpbVUBS

Well, @nnskier bought a pen right before we left on the drive (he didn't like that @RyanAlanScott held his in his mouth when he lacked a spare hand) - that pen is already out of ink. Another reminder it's been too long since we were driving.

We have not forgotten about you, fans. A crowd-funding is in the works for our 2020 attempt to claim the record that we believe is rightfully ours. More info to come.

@andrewMcarney Just where we stayed the night after finishing the trip. The clock stopped at the state line as we crossed over the Columbia but the vehicle didn’t stop until Pasco (from pasco we went our separate ways).

“Toasting” a successful end to our Fastest48 journey! @ Red Lion Hotel & Conference Center Pasco https://t.co/ZBI8KHucOP

So, if we decide to crowdfund another drive, can we count on your support? #fastest48 #Part2

Returned the rental car after a slow and awesome family drive across the country. Total mileage: 10,947. #fastest48

[Fastest 48 @Fastest48]

In case anyone was wondering, from picking up the rental to returning it after the #fastest48 - total tolls (with an EZPass and it's accompanying discounts): $83.06. It's not cheap to drive in the Northeastern US.

@jesticulated We don’t have the exact time but right around 97 h 15min. (The record was 94 h 40min).

[Fastest 48 @Fastest48]

Well, @RyanBurrill was the winner - we saw a lot of license plates, but never did spy Hawaii. #fastest48

[Fastest 48 @Fastest48]

Driving through New Mexico yesterday afternoon it was 54 degrees; driving through Boise today it was 108. #fastest48

[Fastest 48 @Fastest48]

We made it!!!! 48 states, around 6600 miles in 97hrs 12 min. (Will firm those numbers when we get to the hotel). @ Plymouth, Washington https://t.co/ZMlZqCMIxs

We're in a new state too briefly for the tracker, so this is proof! | Find me with inReach➜https://t.co/ubwDdvbXgE

Once more into the breach. Last fuel stop is out of the way and we make the final push through Oregon and into Washington. @ Caldwell, Idaho https://t.co/kpex3EYZ9A
