Mark Sedenquist and Megan Edwards' California home was destroyed by a forest fire in 1993. Instead of rebuilding, the couple bought an RV and took to the open road, traveling across the U.S. and Canada for almost seven years.
The couple has since settled in Las Vegas, but they continue to take driving vacations and encourage others to do the same on their website, RoadTrip America, which they run through Flattop Productions, their small business. Sedenquist and Edwards estimate they've traveled over 650,000 miles.

I couldn't drag him away quickly enough, lol.
I’d go with the streets of Boston/Cambridge.
I'm amazed at how many semi-rigs manage to flip over on the long straightaways of I-10 between Lafayette and Lake Charles.
Prolly go to sleep.
Some dogs just want to do want they were born to do. It’s a good thing. ;-)
“Try the “Million Dollar Highway” from Ouray, CO to Silverton, CO.”
I drove from Ouray to Durango in the dead of winter when I was young, foolish and bulletproof.
The stretch of 191 from Big Sky to the Gallatin Gateway is the worse around here. Between the sharp curves, the trucks, the animals that come on the road (especially moose), the ice, and river below...it's always an adventure in the winter. We do our best to stay off of it at night. There's a reason for all of those white crosses.
For me there are:
I-75 through Downtown Detroit on a steaming Summer evening
I-5 between Los Angeles and San Francisco the night before Thanksgiving
I-40 across the entire state of New Mexico because of the generally terrible condition of the pavement
Deadman’s Curve on Columbia Parkway in Cincinnati
I-75 through the Smokey Mountains when the fog is low and thick
ANYWHERE in Boston
What is bad about Camden, NJ?
See #15. Driving a bus is less of a problem than driving a small car. I did nearly take out myself and some Big Horns this Winter. I wuz much more careful after that and took the bus more.
There is a lot more ice on the road more often on US-20 through Island Park.
I’d agree that Angeles Crest is one of the most dangerous, having traveled it on a daily basis for 10 years. Right now it is closed due to landslides.
This for one (from MSNBC): “Camden has been named the nation’s most-dangerous city, snatching the top spot from Detroit, according to a company’s annual ranking based on crime statistics.” To be fair, this quote is somewhat dated. I saw a more recent report that their violent crime rate was only 6 times the national average.
yep, but most of it is a straight shot. For me, it’s the curves on 191 and what might be around the corner :o).
On both roads, it's better to be in a massive vehicle.
Drove at night from Healy to Anchorage in a 1973 Land Cruiser..
With the lack of an airbag and possibly a collapsible steering column, it’d be best to be sitting in the second row.
It was so dark and so cold, all I could think of was getting back to ANC..
Isn’t that the bridge from “town” rather than the bridges of the Interstate?
We gotta eat.
