..nuh uh...unless the Pacific Ocean now has a bridge...
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on June 12th, 2009
I live in the middle of a vast swampland so there are several bridges over various "rivers and streams" I would have to cross.
by ricklewis on July 21st, 2009
I live on an island.
by Account Closed on June 13th, 2009
I live in a small country town that is surrounded by other small country towns. there is no road here that does not have a bridge on it. I can not drive down any road here for 5 minutes without crossing a bridge.
by holeinthewoods on June 12th, 2009
Yes...a boatload of bridges. :)
by Sherri on June 12th, 2009
no, but if I go for much more than an hour, I'll need a floatation device as I'll be in the pacific ocean!
by Dezimae is FINALLY 21 on June 12th, 2009
duh. do you know how many creeks and stuff there are between my house and my mothers, that is directly west, but only 10 minutes away.... yeah. so i would say i would cross a good 50 or so.
by Daniel on June 12th, 2009
Several for small streams and what not. About 1 hour after leaving, I'd cross the Red River, as well.
by Beavis - the other white meat on June 12th, 2009
Several
by Ditto on June 12th, 2009
Only very small ones over streams. Just over an hour though and I'd have to cross the Connecticut River.
by ChrisDC on June 12th, 2009
Yes. Several. One over the Potomac River, one over Cub Run, one over Bull Run, one over the Shenendoah River (the last one if I drove on the fast side).
by Lion Heart sleeps on June 12th, 2009
well, it comes before an hour!
by Over and Out on June 12th, 2009
Yes, I have to cross the IL River.
by Mrs.mezzo is a Wagnerian soprano on June 12th, 2009
I live on an island I only need to go west for about ten minutes to get to the bridge (NYC traffic allowing ;)

Yes, Everywhere I go, I almost have to cross a river.
by phirad -you can call me Mike on June 12th, 2009
Yes, several bridges. There are many streams and creeks in my area.
by Ain-EST on July 5th, 2009
When I would drive 1 hour towards West I would find myself in the Baltic Sea, so a ferry would be a good idea for me when heading that way.
by Riding the last galaxy on July 5th, 2009
Yes a few small ones until I reached Lake Michigan. :)
by THE TRAVEL SLUT on June 15th, 2009
No...because I'd be offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
:-)
by GREMLIN on June 13th, 2009

Yes several, most are over normally dry washes and one over the Verde River which is normally wet.
by Possum on June 12th, 2009
several
by cellarmaster1 on June 12th, 2009
If we could manage to drive through a few apple orchards, without getting shot, we might be lucky enough to cross a bridge, or else end up, up ended in the irrigation canal, 30 feet wide or so. Got a TEE intersection North/South about a quarter mile west, down our road.
by Brian on June 12th, 2009
I can only go west for about half an hour because I'll reach the Pacific Ocean.
(The answer is yes.)
by Teller of Truth on June 12th, 2009
No, if I did that I would be out in the middle of the Ocean...
by Jenn GO Brewers on June 12th, 2009
Yes, about 1/2 mile West from me is a bridge over the Wisconsin River.
by Jenniferocious on June 12th, 2009
Quite a few small ones (over rivers and creeks). However, I'd run into the Pacific Ocean before I was driving for a full hour.
by iDeath on June 12th, 2009
Yes several before Ohio
by Andrew on June 12th, 2009
4 of them
by Bakebyday still baking.. on June 12th, 2009
No there is no bridge but there is a mountain with snow on it.
by Jadey - Vive la difference on June 12th, 2009
I'm certain of it!
by Porter on June 12th, 2009

by Gone on June 12th, 2009

by Yarnlady is happy every day on June 12th, 2009
Lots and Lots of them.
by GingerRav on June 12th, 2009
No, but I'd end up in the Irish Sea.
by Topher on June 12th, 2009
If I left my house and walked Due West... In about 5 minutes I would be in San Pablo Bay... If I continued walking (assuming I could walk on water or had SCUBA equipment) about 45 minutes I would be passing under the Golden Gate Bridge... So after an hour of going West, I would be in the Pacific Ocean... Nope, no bridges... They haven't built the bridge to Hawaii yet... Aloha...
by Anonymous on June 12th, 2009
Ummmm none, but i'd be in the ocaen in about 10 min.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on August 4th, 2009

by dfasfsd on July 30th, 2009
nope, but I would have to cross a lake somehow.
by Tel UK- Licensed to fish! on July 24th, 2009
I'd reach the first one after ten minutes....over the railway and the river Nene
by Nightwatchdog on July 24th, 2009
Absolutely.
by FaceNthaBackground on August 4th, 2009
I would have to cross one in every direction but West.
Do you know where to go when you want to play in the snow? Lassen Volcanic Ntl. Park in northern California. 2 days ago hubby and I did it.

For long road trips, do you prefer to drive at night? What impact does the closing of rest stops have on your trip?

Welcome Montana Momma...
by klkl on June 12th, 2009

Hey y'all....Cali...Washington or Oregon..?? Or Hawaii?
by klkl on June 12th, 2009
I'm normally in Huntington Beach, CA.
.
Right now, I'm hanging out just south of Diamond Head on Oahu...:-D...
by Old School on June 12th, 2009
Cali for me-north of San Francisco
by Sherri on June 12th, 2009
OS..wouldn't it be loverly if there were a bridge to Honolulu from L.A.? How long would it take us to drive over for a visit? Happy Saturday in Paradise my friend! :) ((hugs))
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on June 13th, 2009
@Rosie G - LA and Honolulu are about 2500 miles apart. A typical long driving day is 500 miles (LA to SF Bay area is about 400 miles).
.
So, it would take about 5-6 days to drive on this fantastical bridge.
.
Much as I hate flying, I think I'll stick to it over driving such distances...:-D..
by Old School on June 13th, 2009
What if there were gourmet dining at reasonable prices along the way? What if there were luxury hotels available at a pittance? What if the money we paid would go 100% to bona fide charitable causes? What if Magic and Larry and Kobe and Michael and others had establishments along the way and would be there to wait on you from time to time? What if? :)
