Ohio to Nevada in 5 minutes
It took 4 days to drive 2,165 miles from Athens, OH to Las Vegas, NV. I set up my 20D in the back seat and made a timelapse of the entire trip and synced it up with Google Earth.

My Mom and Dad see us off early in the morning as Debbie and I set out for Las Vegas, our new home.
Our first night on the road, Debbie and I stayed in this Super 8 dump in Tulsa. The carpet, shower curtain and even the ceiling were covered in what looked like blood stains. The wifi sorta worked, but we couldn’t login in to any online accounts or use google maps.
We started loosing coolant somewhere in Oklahoma, which meant we had to stop and add antifreeze/water in between fill ups.
The leaning water tower is actually listed as a roadside attraction on Texas tourism sites. Strange things in Groom, Texas. We drove by the self proclaimed “largest cross in the western hemisphere” as we passed through Groom, Texas also. Weird.
We went a little out of our way to visit beautiful and mystic Sedona, Arizona. It’s about 4 hours from Las Vegas and we plan on going back.
Our new home in Las Vegas, or Henderson to be more precise.

That was pretty neat. Found it doing a google search on driving from nevada to ohio.
Im from Cleveland and moved to Laughlin, NV a year ago… came by plane. We wanted to vacation in Ohio by driving (we took a plane for our last vacation a few months ago back home but not having a car to drive around was hell) but didnt know how hard the drive would be. Even though that didnt asnwer my question it was cool seeing the whole drive summed up into 5 minutes.. too bad its really not only 5 minutes away.
