FAST AND THE FURIOUS
You have been to all 50 states before or maybe you want a taste of them all before you sightsee in each. These routes will get you to every state in the quickest way possible. The Fast and the Furious
Stephen Von Worley wrote an interesting article "The Fifty, Swiftly. How Fast Could You Visit All 50 States?" on datapoint.com on August 7, 2012. He - using data, I'm assuming - came up with the fastest way to visit all 50 states. 6,813 miles to the 48 contiguous and a flights to Alaska and Hawaii. Total time: 160 hours. As you can see from the map you end up spending considerable time in some states - driving across South Dakota, but little time in other states - just the tip of California and Arizona. This method gets you to touch ground in every state. Now this is based on data - we don't know anyone who has actually taken this route yet! The Flanagan Family has been to all 50 states. And they have been to all fifty states. And they have been to all 50 states. They have visited all 50 states a remarkable 3 times! Their last trip was a mission to complete all 50 in the shortest amount of time possible. They did it in 8 days and 20 minutes. All Fifty States in 12 Trips - Gary and Peter in 2003 ( 8 days 20 minutes) 50 by 50
Another amazing traveler, Barry Stiefel visited all 50 states in a "week's vacation." His trip was round trip.
