I thought you lived between Austin and Waco? If so, you couldn't make either in 3 hours even if you were driving 100 mph.


Maybe it’s a little longer to LA....I can’t remember. I was just looking at a map and judging by the time it takes me to get to Austin and San Antonio...

So I google mapped it and it will take four hours to Laredo, and about the same to go to the Texas state line on I20 west of Shreveport....
I'm a transplant myself (9 years total in 4 cities). The distances in Texas are staggering.

When I moved here the first time I had driven from Greenville, IL, to Greenville, TX, in one loooong day and told my Mom that I had a short day of driving the next day. I thought Midland was on the other side of Dallas, but little did I know it was 380 miles from Greenville to Midland.

45 minutes North of me is SE Washington (an hour north to Kennewick, WA); 45 minutes east of me is SE Washington (1.5 hours or so to Walla Walla, WA).

Three hours east is Idaho

10 hours south is California.

I live about 110 miles from the Louisiana border. It is about 550 miles to New Mexico, about 310 miles to Mexico, 275 miles to Arkansas, and 320 to Oklahoma. Those are just to the borders for Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico, not to any place you'd really want to go. Add miles to any place that isn't in the middle of nowhere. The distance to Arkansas is to Texarkana, a decent sized town, and the distance to Mexico is to Laredo.

About 10 minutes from Illinois, 12 minutes from Missouri, an hour to Tennessee. It is not unusual for me to do seven states in a day getting to some job sites.
