Crossing the USA on I-40
Road sign showing the distance to Wilmington, North Carolina at the start of I-40 in Barstow, CA
We have now traveled the entire length of Interstate 40. From the eastern end in North Carolina to the western end in California. And then back.
Twice. Three times.
Eastern end of I-40 in Wilmington, North Carolina

The sign in California showing the distance to Wilmington, North Carolina, has been stolen several times. A similar road sign in North Carolina has been stolen so many times that it is no longer being replaced.
Twice is not enough. We're ready to go again.
