As a kid my family would drive from Cleveland, OH to Alberta, CA every 2-3 years, where my Dad grew up. Took us all the way through Montana before we would cross the border. Have not been there in 47 years but will be there in 2 weeks. Family reunion in Camrose, followed by a few days in Banff.
When I was young, my family made a couple of trips from Pasadena, CA, to Florida (visiting my Mom’s family). Later, my brother and I flew out to San Jose (from Florida, with my parents) for my sister’s wedding, and drove her car back to Florida.
Not all the way across in one shot. We did a family trip that was a loop from Seattle to Arizona, across to Dallas, back up to South Dakota and then back to Seattle that had the mileage though.
For half-cross-country trips I’ve also done Seattle to Oklahoma City twice and the reverse once, OKC to San Diego, OKC to Asheville round trip, and Dallas to Charlotte.
I did round-trips from Columbus to Phoenix twice. That is as close as I come
