Geez, that'd be what 2 or 3,000 miles each way, I don't know If I'd want
to do that kind of driving, heck driving 70 MPH(Which would be hard to
maintain the whole way, doubt you'd be on interstate whole time), 12 hours
a day it'd take you between 2 1/2 - 4 days to drive it, that's quite a
road trip, unless you plan to use your truck once you're there to go
4-wheeling or something or you've just always wanted to see the U.S.
countryside, I believe I'd just fly (A few hours, VS a few days).
