But what a fun adventure. I mapped it out in Streets & Trips, came up with 628 miles. In CA or in my TX, that's easy in 12 hours, not so easy in New England in the middle of the night. Of course, you really have about 17 hours.You'll travel over lots of winding little roads that won't allow normal highway speeds. Plus, in my neck of the woods, most every street corner has signs indicating the names of intersecting streets. I don't think they believe in street signs in New England, sometimes you'll drive a long time trying to figure out what street you're on. Also, they like to trick you (particularly in MA) as streets suddenly change names for no apparent reason.

Before I undertook this, I'd have 1) good maps, 2) plenty of No-Doz, 3) a GPS, 4) an exact ETA for each capital so I'd know if I had to abort the try at some point, 5) a plan for a straight run to PVD if I need to abort, 6) good directions for each location, e.g., I've driven the route from NH into Boston, and if you don't take the right exit, you'll have lot's of fun trying to get there.

To jib71 - obviously, he'll take a picture. And get to say he did it! On one trip from TX to NC, Mrs. Deubster & I took different routes going & coming in order to visit as many capitals as possible (Little Rock, Nashville on the way, Charlotte, Columbia, Atlanta, Montgomery, Jackson on the return). Just for the heck of it.

I'm betting most of these buildings will be lit up at night. Post your pics & trip details if you make it.

Go for it! ^ ^
