Drive from Cbus to Seattle - 06/24/19 04:50 PM
I have 2 sons in the Navy. The one that has a car got his orders is going to Japan and has a nice low mileage car. My other son is stationed in Seattle and needs a car. He is going to buy it from him. and my wife, daughter and I are going to drive it out to him. We were planning a visit anyways. google maps says anywhere from 35-39 hours depending on time of day i look. I want to take I-74/380/90. not I-65/90/94 through Chicago and Minneapolis
Want to make quick pit stops at Mt.Rushmore devils tower and badlands if time permits.
Question is what is a realistic time frame to get there if anyone has done that drive.
we have 3 drivers. never gone this far before but have went to Naples Fl several times 2 day trips with small kids and Savannah Ga straight through quite often.
I am thinking 3.5 days easily. First day would like to get to Sioux city roughly 12.5 hr drive. from there to Seattle is 24 hr drive. i think it is very doable.
I do understand that time doesn't include stopping for fuel, food bathroom breaks.
We plan to rotate drivers/seats about every 3-4 hrs.
