1.Take a map and mesure the distance in miles

2.Estimate your driving speed in miles/hr and divide into the distance.

3.Add 1/2 hr for pit stops.

 

The same procedure works to discover the time requiered to hike a given distance; although it is less accurate due to hills and what not.

Whatever. That doesn't work for driving on those roads. Curvy, lots of lights and small towns on the small roads, traffic. I know how to estimate driving time smartass, I want a realistic picture of how long it will take.

 

So why don't you test your theory coming back to seattle from levanworth on a sunday afternoon, then we'll see how accurate you are.
