Now, three friends from Salt Lake City, Utah, claim to have driven through all 48 contiguous states in less than 5 days, doing it in an economy car at speeds that averaged just 65 mph over the 7,008 mile journey, which they blogged about along the way.“We saw 90 police officers on our trip. We did not have a radar detector, and we did not get pulled over,” says Josh Keeler, an insurance underwriter who was inspired by an idea originally hatched by his father 15 years ago. Dad never got beyond the planning stages, but Josh says he picked up on the idea and got serious about making an attempt about six months ago. Using the route plotted by his father in the 1990s, the younger Keeler made some modifications and called his close friends Joey Stocking and Adam Gatherum to see if they’d be interested in joining him.
“I didn’t want this to turn into something we could’ve or should’ve done later in life, and I just thought we needed to get out a do it,” Josh says.
