11. Besides driving truck...

Let's see here:

In 1984 I was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, KY, and was reassigned to Korea. I needed to get my motorcycle home, so I rode it to Idaho. I don't remember the exact route but I know I went through Nebraska on my way to South Dakota, then jumped on I-90 and rode in.

I've been down Interstate 90 from the east coast to Idaho several times.

I drove from Watertown, NY to Fayetteville, NC.

Next year I MAY, if I can get the schedule to work out, drive from Idaho to San Francisco. It turns out the NASCAR race at Sonoma is the same weekend the Dodgers are playing the Giants at Oracle Park, so I can see a race AND Ohtani play baseball on the same trip. I'll probably go down through Idaho until I can get to Interstate 80 then go straight into San Francisco.
