I have been googling and mapquesting my way from Richmond to Santa Fe to figure out the best route and how long it will take.  The drive will take about three days long (1819.50 miles or 28 hours and 10 min).  I will be leaving either Tues or Wed of this week.  My brother Gregory is buying me and audio book or two so that I am entertained while I am driving this long drive across the country.  The map below showcases my little adventure.  I will keep you updated on how the journey goes and where I stop.  Speaking of the journey, I should really pack soon.  :-)
