Recent Trip -- Euless, TX -- Portland, OR -- Return -- July 24, 2023

Locator: 45191TRIP.

Mileage data for recent trip from Euless, TX (near Dallas) to Portland, OR, and back. 

The mileage and gasoline data are close to exact, but times (third column) could be off a little. 

We drove straight through both going to / returning from, sleeping along the road except for one night, July 16, 2023, when we stayed in a Day's Inn near Twin Falls, UT. That was a particularly exhausting day, having made some wrong turns in Cheyenne, WY, area; almost running out of gasoline; and, changing plans abruptly with regard to ultimate destination.

We had originally planned to drive first to Flathead Lake, Montana, and then drive to Portland, Oregon, from there. But somewhere in the Cheyenne, Wyoming, area, we decided to bypass Montana completely and head straight to Portland.

We were driving a 2023 Nissan Altima rented from Enterprise Rental, and we drove it at speed limit or slightly above. On freeway or major roads, most stretches had posted speed limits of 70, 75, or 80 mph.

We stopped often during the day for various reasons. We took two-hour naps two or three times through the nights. We spent several hours in Arches National Park and Moab, Utah.
