New Member Question: How many miles is "normal" to drive each day?

Everybody has different wants and needs. What works for me might not work for you, my limitations may not be yours.

These days my wife and I like to spend 3 nights at most of our stops, with occasional one-nighters if the distance is too long between places we want to see.

In 2013 we did a "Northern Parks" loop; starting at Grand Teton and heading north as far as Jasper, then back home (SF Bay Area).

Here's the stats: 26 days, 10 stops, 11 'transit' days, 3,500 miles (average 320 per transit day). Did not feel rushed at all. A couple of the days were pretty long, up to 500 miles or so, but we try not to put days like that back to back.

In April we're planning on a "Deep South" road trip: start in New Orleans, end in Atlanta. That is looking like: 25 days, 9 stops, 10 transit days, 1850 miles (200 per transit day).

With three weeks and some planning 3,000 miles should be easily done, without needing to spend 10-12 hours behind a wheel.
